Your question is incomplete because it does not provide the statements, which are the following:

The motif of blood in the play highlights the destructive nature of revenge.

Because Queen Elizabeth did not have an heir, audiences in Shakespeare's time would likely have been interested in Hamlet's focus on succession.

Gertrude does what Claudius tells her to do because she has little power as a woman living in a male-dominated society.

Answer:

-formalist lens :

The motif of blood in the play highlights the destructive nature of revenge.

-historical lens :

-feminist lens:

Explanation:

In literature, the critical lens refers to a literary analysis method, such as the author's style, plot, characters and theme.

The formalist lens includes the interpretation of the text according to the background of the author and includes theme, motifs and viewpoints and language style.

The historical lens deals with the social, cultural, political and historical context that surround the events in a text, their causes and effects.

Finally, the feminist lens refers to the reader's interpretation of the text through the eyes of a feminist, who compares the treatment of women in relation to men as regards sexism, social equality and opportunities.

Write a speech on Obesity : A Curse

Alexus [3.1K]

When constructing a speech, the thing to keep in mind is there are three main parts—an introduction, the body, and the conclusion. In the introduction, you’ll want to have an attention getter that draws the audience in. One way to do this if speaking about Obesity: A Curse is to, perhaps, mention a shocking statistic or even an anecdote. Then (think of a speech like an essay where you’ll have a thesis statement), preface the speech by mentioning the three points you’ll discuss. Then, in the order you mention your three points, discuss the points in one paragraph each for the body mentioning your strongest point last and second strongest first. After that, with your conclusion recap all of the points mentioned and have a call to action for the audience or even a “what if” scenario if obesity is not addressed.

He looked like a man cut away from the stake, when the fire has overrunningly wasted all the limbs without consuming them, or ta

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Explanation:

The narrator talks about how the fire wasting a man that was tied to a stake. Assuming that the fire is symbolic for fate, it makes sense for this passage to describe parraylissis. Especially when looking in the context of the last sentence, describing the man as a "unalterable mold" "made of solid bronze" someone who is unaltered is unable to move, and solid bronze is unmovable by human hands after a certain amount is gathered. I was debating between A and D though, so I'll tell you why I didn't pick D. d refers to nature and mans lack of ability to change it, however where nature is involved in the passage (fire) the man doesn't try to shape or change it, it changes the man.

Which punctuation mark is used to set apart an introductory phrase

Ivenika [448]

Colons. The colon is a stronger punctuation mark than the semicolon. As a result, within sentences, it is used only after a complete sentence--never after a dependent clause or phrase.
