Why were supernatural elements in a play more freighting for audiences during Shakespeare time?

English

schepotkina [342]3 years ago

During Shakeaspeare time, people actually believed in witches and demons. They were extremely superstitious, and mystical/supernatural beliefs affected their everyday lives. If someone was ill, it was not uncommon to believe that person was cursed, for example. So seeing the supernatural being represented on a stage was especially frightening, which is also why magic and the supernatural are a recurring theme in Shakespeare plays.

Answer:

The title of Doris Lessing’s “No Witchcraft for Sale” is ironic because there is witchcraft involved in Gideon’s responses to the scientists.

Explanation:

After the event in this excerpt, and the full recovery of Teddy, The Farquars told around how this "magic" plan of Gideon had made the miraculous cure, then one day a scientist after listening to the story paid The Farquards a visit to their house to know how was the plant used and what plat was it, after not giving direct answers and being evasive Gideon tells the scientist that witchcraft or native plant remedies are not for sale. It is Irony because everyone wanted to pay for something that they couldn't buy and people wanted to sell something that they didn't possess, the only person in known was no interested in being part of it.

Read the rough-draft paragraph.
aivan3 [116]

The statement which best describes the mistake the writer makes in the paragraph is the following one:

The writer loses focus and shifts to another topic.

He starts off by pointing out the overall benefits of exercising, and supports his idea by also giving examples of activities people should engage in. However, focus is lost when the writer begins to address the importance of a balanced diet to the body. That would require a new paragraph.
