Answer:

Euphemisms are substitutes for crude, hurtful, or otherwise offensive expressions. Euphemisms manipulate the meaning of a word or phrase to make them appear more pleasant. Because the purpose of euphemism is to disguise semantics and avoid saying what is meant, it has been called "the language of evasion, hypocrisy, prudery, and deceit,"

Explanation

as an example: For nearly all actors it begins at the end of the audition with four words from the auditor, "Thanks for coming in." . . . "Thanks for coming in" is a polite entertainment euphemism for "You suck. Was that the best you could do?"

b. Both Ethan and Tom are alike in the sense that both feel trapped and they want to flee from their bad situations regarding women: Ethan with his wife Zeena and Tom with his mom and sister
c. Both works have the same subject: A man who is controlled by a woman and he desires to flee from it with a posible person or situation that can help them get free. So the subject may be how people quit their dreams quickly for someone who is not going to make them happy.
