We can infer that the death of Confucius’ son, Carp is ironic, he suffered an early death when the symbolism of the carp fish is longevity, because carps can get very old, it also represents the dragons due to big scales on the body of a carp. According to the meaning of the carp Confucius’ son, Carp, should have a long live which did not happen.

Which statement best describes why King Claudius is a complex character in Act III of Hamlet? He expresses regret for his previo
lina2011 [118]
<span>The correct answer is that he expresses regret for his previous behaviours. The expression of regret heard in his prayer about the murder of his brother underlines the complexity of his character, as although this was an act that seemed at first as if it was all he desired, we later learn that the character is not implicitly evil and is able to feel regret.</span>

What is the story about the Kodavu people's descent? ​
svp [43]

Answer:

According to the author, the fiercely independent people of Coorg are descendants of Greeks or Arabs. A part of Alexander's army moved South along the coast and settled there only when they were unable to return to their country. These people married amongst the locals and their culture remains alive even to this day. Secondly, the Kodavus wear a traditional garment called ‘kuppia’ which resembles the ‘kuffia’ worn by Arabs. This suggests the Arab origins of the Kodavu.
