irony or inference.........
The wife is old, ugly and lowborn. Even the knight tells it to her on their wedding night. It is also decadent for the knight who might have been wed to a beautiful woman. Therefore, the woman is really careful and shrewd. Using her wiles she tries to make the knight marry her.
The genres of the Iliad are: Epic Poetry, Tragedy and War Drama
This ain't just any old epic: it's the epic that made epics epic.
The Homeric poems (the Iliad and the Odyssey) are epic, because our concept of epic comes from Homeric poems. If that sounds too circular, then just bear in mind that the Iliad is an extremely long narrative poem, which deals with the heroic actions of mortals, gods, and demi-gods. For the Ancient Greeks, it was also important that an epic be written in the poetic meter of dactylic hexameter—which the Iliad is.
At the same time, however, the Iliad is also a tragedy, because it focuses on the downfall of a great hero (our boy Achilleus) as a result of his own flawed character. In this case, the problem is a three'fer: his super-excessive anger, pride, and grief.
Because most of the Iliad depicts battles in the Trojan War, it also falls into the category of War Drama. As such, it provides many important insights into the nature of war and its place in human life (and human death—hey-o!).

Which line from the red badge of courage most clearly supports the theme of courage as Henry would define it in his youth (at the beginning of the novel)?
The answer for the first question is b."His busy mind had drawn for him large pictures extravagant in color, lurid with breathless deeds." Henry has grown up reading novels and short stories about the Civil War which romanticize war and depict heroism as a epic feat that results in glory for the courageous hero of such stories. His mind is therefore "busy" imagining not only the stories about the glorious heroism and courage in the face of death but HIS OWN place in HIS OWN story of courage under fire. The "pictures" in question are not only the illustrations of the books he has read about war but his own mental images of his own courage and glory. He erroneously considers the narrations of the war novels he has read as lurid, i.e. vividly sensational and authentic. His vision of courage has been romanticized by these novels and has very little factual realism.
The conflict that most developed the theme of Henry's defining courage in the red badge of courage is:
c.man vs. self. Henry act cowardly during his first battle but he is ashamed of his own cowardice. However, nobody else knows that he fled combat and nature is logically indifferent to the horrors of war between men. Henry spends many chapters after his act of cowardice in a state of inner turmoil and guilty introspection.
