Question

‘The bridegroom stood dangling his bonnet and plume.’ What does this tell you about the bridegroom? What should he have done ? from the poem lochinvar by Shakespeare

Answer 1

Answer:

Sir Walter Scott describes the bridegroom as a laggard in love and a dastard in war. He is a coward who says nothing when Lochinvar boldly enters the Netherby Hall. When Lochinvar dances with Ellen, he stands helplessly dangling his bonnet and plume.
