English

Lambic pentameter was used for the nobles' speech while blank verse or prose was used for commoners. This could be to create a distinction between the classes and to show that the nobles were intelligent, as iambic pentameter has a natural rhythm.

Answer:

To show the education and refinement of the nobles.

Explanation:

Shakespeare's noble characters speak in iambic pentameter<em> to show the education and refinement</em> of the nobles. It is usually the aristocratic members of the play who speak in verse. Iambic pentameter sounds like poetry, it has a melodious sound. On the other hand, commoners speak in prose. In Shakespeare's plays when the commoners speak the writing goes from the beginning to the end of the line.

which modernist ideas are in this famous passage? check the four best choices. despair and disillusionment: feeling that life is
den301095 [7]

The appropriate responses are options 1, 2, 3, and 5.

Explanation:

Between World Wars I and II, American modernist literature predominated in the country's literary landscape. The modernist era focused on innovation in poetry and prose's structure and language, as well as writing on current issues including racial inequality, gender, and the human condition.

Many American modernist authors who were influenced by the First World Combat investigated the psychological wounds and spiritual scars of the war experience. The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck, which was published in the early 1930s, is one example of how the American economic crisis affected literature. As employees became invisible in the backdrop of city life, unnoticed cogs in a machine that ached for self-definition, a linked concern is the loss of self and the yearning for self-definition. The mid-nineteenth-century emphasis on "creating a self"—a concept exemplified by Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby—was mirrored by American modernists. As seen by The Emperor Jones by Eugene O'Neill, The Battler by Ernest Hemingway, and That Evening Sun by William Faulkner, madness and its manifestations appear to be another popular modernist topic. 

But despite all these drawbacks, real people and the fictitious characters of American modernist literature both sought new beginnings and had new hopes and goals.
