Which word in this excerpt from William Shakespeare's Hamlet means "resistant"? Anon he finds him, Striking too short at Greeks.

His antique sword, Rebellious to his arm, lies where it falls, Repugnant to command. Unequal match'd, Pyrrhus at Priam drives, in rage strikes wide, But with the whiff and wind of his fell sword The unnerved father falls. Then senseless Ilium, Seeming to feel this blow, with flaming top Stoops to his base, and with a hideous crash Takes prisoner Pyrrhus' ear; for lo his sword, Which was declining on the milky head Of reverent Priam, seem'd i' the air to stick. So as a painted tyrant Pyrrhus stood; And, like a neutral to his will and matter, Did nothing.

The word from this excerpt which means 'resistant' is repugnant.
One of the meanings of the word repugnant is <em>in conflict with, incompatible with, </em>which fits the description above. His sword is in conflict with him, meaning that it doesn't want to listen to him - it is resistant to his pleas for help, especially now when he needs it most.

How does the fox take advantage of Chanticleer's weakness?
zalisa [80]
The story about the Chanticleer and the fox is as old as the tale. The Chanticleer supervised the farmyard, waking everyone when the sun rises. Even thinking that he made it rose. The fox told him he admired his singing in the morning but with the intent of bringing him into the woods to be eaten so his morning singing won't bother other animals again. Fortunately, Chanticleer escaped from the fox's grip.
