Explanation:

This passage was taken from the book Reason and Sensitivity written by Jane Austen. The book tells the story of the sisters Elinor and Marianne. Elinor is very sensible and is always advising her sister Marianne that she is a very romantic and impulsive person.

This passage shows the moment when Marianne goes to a party and meets Willoughby, a man who made several swearings of love to Marianne and got the girl's heart. However, Willoughby is ignoring Marianne at the party, acting as if he did not know her and that made Marianne very sad. For this reason, Elinor is advising her sister (Marianne) not to talk to him (because that would be reckless) and wait, because maybe he did not realize that Marianne is there.

sight: watching a movie

touch: petting a dog

smell: smelling dinner

hearing: listening to music

taste: eating pizza

first of all the mood needs to be defined: it is obviously a mood of deceitful relief and serenity. why? because the cape horn is one of the most violent maritime regions of earth and although it has been left behind, it is a personification of ahab’s delirium and the fact that the end of the passage speaks about it about being “hidden” but “raving” immediately conveys the feeling the calm is not permanent but fleeting.

furthermore, the oxymoron “mild stun'sails” is the first instance of such feeling as the adjective “mild” is associated with “stunned” underscoring the fleeting nature of this “tranquil” moment. and the contrasts keep piling up, with the opposition between “dark den” and “blessed light and air” to end with the final conclusion that leaves the reader with the uneasy knowledge that this is just a reprieve.
