Free Essays on Fools Compared

Fools Compared Both The Man of Mode and The Country Wife contain characters that are the butt of everyone’s jokes. Sir Fopling Flutter and Sparkish are men who think they are not only charming, but lady’s men as well. Throughout the play, the men are continually picked upon for their outlandish behavior. The difference is that Sir Fopling is only concerned about his own opinion of himself, whereas Sparkish is intent on gaining his fellowmen’s approval. Sparkish is a man who is talked about in a negative way by others in The Country Wife. Horner, upon seeing Sparkish, makes the comment, â€Å"the greatest fop, dullest ass, and worst company, as you shall see: for here he comes† (I, 1). Sparkish, however, never seems to realize he is considered a joke, choosing to believe that their constant picking is a sign of acceptance. In one instance he is literally thrown out of the room and they all laugh at him, not with him, but Sparkish comes right back in and offers up a dinner invitation (I, 1). Sir Fopling Flutter is called â€Å"the freshest fool in town† (II, 2), by Lady Townley. He enters their conversation intent on dominating the scene. While the others pick on his clothing, â€Å"your breech though, is a handful too high† (III, 2), he responds with a light quip, â€Å" I have wished it lower a thousand times, but a pox on’t† (III, 2). Sir Fopling chooses to believe that when he is around, he is admired by all. He assumes that others relish in his presence, asking Dorimant, â€Å"let thee and I take air together† (III, 3). However, just as with Sparkish, excuses are made as to why no one can accompany him that evening. â€Å"I am engaged to Medley† (III, 3), Dorimant states. As Sir Fopling exits, everyone makes snide comments about his presence, â€Å"A fine, mettled coxcomb† (III, 3) Medley remarks. â€Å"Brisk and insipid† (III,3) replies Dorimant. Neither Sir Fopling, nor Sparkish, are taken very se r...

Definition of Qualitative Analysis in Chemistry

Definition of Qualitative Analysis in Chemistry In chemistry, qualitative analysis is the determination of the chemical composition of  a sample. It encompasses a set of analytical chemistry techniques that provide nonnumerical information about a specimen. Qualitative analysis can tell you whether an atom, ion, functional group, or compound is present or absent in a sample, but it doesnt provide information about its quantity (how much). Quantification of a sample, in contrast, is called quantitative analysis. Techniques and Tests Qualitative analysis involves chemical tests, such as the Kastle-Meyer test for blood or the iodine test for starch. Another common qualitative test, used in inorganic chemical analysis, is the flame test. Qualitative analysis typically measures changes in color, melting point, odor, reactivity, radioactivity, boiling point, bubble production, and precipitation. Methods include distillation, extraction, precipitation, chromatography, and spectroscopy. Branches of Qualitative Analysis The two main branches of qualitative analysis are organic qualitative analysis (such as the iodine test) and inorganic qualitative analysis (such as the flame test). Inorganic analysis looks at the elemental and ionic composition of a sample, usually by examination of ions in aqueous solution. Organic analysis tends to look at types of molecules, functional groups, and chemical bonds.Example: She used qualitative analysis to find that the solution contained Cu2 and Cl-  ions.
