Here are some elements of epic poetry that shown in the odyssey
- Supernatural elements , since it told so much about Gods and afterlife
- a Difficult journey with trials, ( such as the moment when the characters trapped in a storm in the middle of the sea)
- A Hero Showing perseverance
In the poem "The Bean Eaters," Brooks describes a couple of old people. She talks about the life they live, and the image is one of simplicity and routine. We learn that the couple is not wealthy, and in fact, they are quite poor. This is the reason they mostly eat beans. The poem is meant to highlight the injustice of poverty, and the sad situation of people like this couple. Brook's use of end rhyme and internal rhyme contributes to this overall meaning. It helps develop the idea of desolation and simplicity that characterizes the couple's existence.
A. Portentous is the correct answer
Omnibenevolent would mean universally good. (Good to all, same meaning)
Diction is the author's word choice.
So A, otherwise known as the first choice in your list.
Hope this helps!
