n Should in the furthest east begin to draw The shady curtains from Aurora's bed, Away from the light steals home my heavy son, And private in his chamber pens himself, Shuts up his windows, locks far daylight out And makes himself an artificial night: Black and portentous must this humour prove, Unless good counsel may the cause remove.

I would say that Shakespeare uses allusion in this excerpt from Romeo and Juliet. He is alluding, or making a reference to Aurora, who is a character/person outside of Romeo and Juliet.

The answer is allusion because

allusion : an expression designed to call something to mind without mentioning it explicitly; an indirect or passing reference.


<u><em>b. Allusion</em></u>

Explain Renaissance philosophies of Humanism and Secularism. Your answer should be at least one hundred words.
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Renaissance humanism is the revival/ re-interest of the ancient arts and preferring human qualities rather than the divine ones. Secularism is also almost the same as it also laid more importance on the state rather than the religious aspect of human society.

Explanation:

Renaissance  is the 'rebirth' or revival of the classics, first in Italy and then spread to the other parts of Europe. Humanism is the approach or outlook of thoughts that gives importance to the humanistic values/ elements rather than the divine beings. It is basically the preference of humans over divine elements, with human qualities having more importance than the supernatural ones. The rediscovery of the studying of the ideas and arts of the past civilizations occur in this movement, with a newfound interest in the ancients. Renaissance humanism dominated the Renaissance era with its preference of ancient texts over the contemporary philosophy and arts.

Secularism, on the other hand, fully separates the state and the religious aspects of the society or human community. There is no connection whatsoever in the two. The participation of religion is allowed but not in a dominating way. It ensures that there is no extreme power of religion or act of religious beliefs over the affairs of the state.

Thus, it can then be concluded that the Renaissance humanism and secularism have a sort of some similarity in their division/ preference of human qualities rather than the divine/ religious ones.
