At the beginning of the play, Oedipus listens as citizens complain of a problem.What is this problem?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: I'm assuming you're talking about the play "Oedipus the King" since Oedipus is such an uncommon name. :P

At the beginning of the play the people and the priests are begging him to stop the plague that is killing hundreds of people in the city. The priests talk to him on behalf of the people and ask him to somehow lift the plague because otherwise the city will be destroyed because so many people are dying. So, Oedipus sends his brother in law, Creon, to an oracle to try to find out what to do to stop the plague.

Which event in Macbeth illustrates the recurring motif of "Fair is foul, and foul is fair"?a. Macbeth kills the current king and is rewarded by being named king himself.
b. Lady Macbeth makes excuses for Macbeth when he acts crazy at the banquet.
c. Macbeth kills Duncan's guard in a fit of anger and then lies about his reasons.
d. Macduff travels to England to talk to Duncan's son, Malcolm.

Answers

The correct answer is A. Macbeth kills the current king and is rewarded by being named king himself.


The quote "Fair is foul, and foul is fair" means that things are not what they appear to be and that people may be hiding something. Macbeth killed King Duncan and then was named king - obviously, nobody knew that he is in fact the murderer, which he carefully (and successfully) tried to hide from everyone, but not for long.

Answer:

a. Macbeth kills the current king and is rewarded by being named king himself.

Explanation:

Fair is foul and foul is fair, is a recurring theme in Macbeth, it´s first stated by three witches at the begining of the play, but it is used to say that not everything that seems god is good, and not everything that seems bad is bad, in this case when Mcbeth kills the current king and no one knows he did it, he is Kinged because they think of him as a noble Knight, not knowing that he murdered the late king and should be trialed for that.

What theme reflects a philosophical assumption held by Charlotte Brontë as reflected in Jane Eyre?

Answers

The correct answer for this question is this one: "c. The importance of friendship cannot be underestimated." The theme that reflects a philosophical assumption held by Charlotte Brontë as reflected in Jane Eyre is the importance of friendship cannot be underestimated.

Here are the following choices:
a. The passage of time heals all wounds.
b. The tenderness of youth is forgotten in later years.
c. The importance of friendship cannot be underestimated.
d. The abuse of power is wrong.

I believe the answer is: The passage of time heals all wounds.

Here is the line that she says when she's reminiscing about her experience nine years ago:

The gaping wound of my wrongs, too, was now quite healed; and the flame of resentment extinguished.

From the line, we can infer that time has healed the emotional wound from her regrets and hatred that she had for the people in her past.

What figure of speech is the saying: The sun played hide and seek with the clouds.a. Personification
b. Metaphor
c. Hyperbole
d. Simile

Answers

The sun played hide and seek with the clouds is a personification. Hence option a is correct.

What is personification?

Personification is defined as a figure of speech in which a concept or object is given human characteristics and/or emotions, or is discussed as though it were a person. Personification in literature primarily serves to humanize inanimate objects for the reader. Personification gives things that lack complex human characteristics a deeper meaning.

Even though the "sun" cannot literally "play hide and seek," it is imitating a human behavior or an action that a person is capable of performing. Thus, personification is when an object behaves or appears to behave like a person.

Thus, the sun played hide and seek with the clouds is a personification. Hence option a is correct.

Answer is A. Personification because the "sun" cannot actually "play hide and seek" but it's copying a human action or an action that a PERSON can do. So it's personification because an object is acting as/like a person.
