Sophocles uses which literary device in these lines to keep the audience interested?

1 answer:

I believe the best answer for this question would be "dramatic irony." Dramatic irony is when the audience is aware of something important that the characters in the story are not aware of yet. Sophocles uses dramatic irony in Oedipus the King, as the audience would know what is going to happen before the end of the story. Hope this helps.

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Fallacious reasoning.

Explanation:

Fallacious reasoning also known as a fallacy is described as the reasoning based on faulty or invalid arguments that makes it deceptive. Such arguments weaken or invalidate your claim due to false logic which may affect the credibility of your argument adversely. These fallacies are however often employed by authors deliberately as a tool to either manipulate or convince the readers to believe in the claim. The other times these fallacies occur involuntarily due to ignorance. Thus, <u>'fallacious reasoning'</u> is the reasoning that is built on false or invalid arguments.

Answer:

Hamlet's speech from Act V scene i of the play "Hamlet".

Explanation:

These lines are said by Hamlet in Act V scene i of the tragedy play "Hamlet"by William Shakespeare. This play centers on the revenge act by a young prince for the murder of his father by his uncle. The play also shows the greed of the new King Claudius and the lengths he would go to conceal his secret.

The particular passage given in the question is from the dialogue of Hamlet when they were in the graveyard, talking of the different skulls the gravediggers had dug out. Hamlet asked Horatio or rather told him about how life and death can be so different. One can be the ruler of a mighty empire but after death, returns to the same dust that everyone turns back to. He further puts his point forward by suggesting that what if the dust of Alexander or Caesar for that matter, be used as clay to "<em>patch a wall t' expel the winter’s flaw!</em>"
