Read the excerpt from "The Story of a Warrior Queen." Queen Boadicea looked so beautiful and fierce as she stood there, with her

blue eyes flashing, and her golden hair blowing round her in the wind, that the hearts of her people were filled with love for her, and anger against the Romans. As she spoke, fierce desires for revenge grew in them. They had hated their Roman conquerors before, now the hatred became a madness. So, when Boadicea had finished speaking, a cry of rage rose from the Britons. They beat upon their shields with their swords, and swore to avenge their Queen, to fight and die for her and for their country. Then Boadicea, leaning with one hand upon her spear, and lifting the other to heaven—prayed. She prayed to the goddess of war, and her prayer was as fierce as her speech, for she had never heard of a God who taught men to forgive their enemies. Which detail in this excerpt reveals heroic qualities and supports the universal theme of loyalty to one's country? Queen

The power of Boadicea is highlighted in this excerpt, using adjectives such as fierce, beautiful, and the imagery of "her golden hair blowing round her in the wind" giving the illusion of someone otherworldly, superior to common beings. Her speech rouses deep passion in the people, it's a call for action that is responded eagerly. Loyalty to the Queen is loyalty to the Country, the soldiers pledge their lives to her, hence they pledge their lives to fight for the country against the Romans. Her rage is mirrored and multiplied, till everybody is willing to die for her, to avenge their country.

16. What are the three steps in the king's and Laertes plot to kill Hamlet?
Oliga [24]

Answer:OK. It's the fencing match. And I think it's actually a two-point plan.

Explanation:

First of all, Laertes once to cut Hamlet's throat in the church, but Claudius persuades him there's a better way. To somehow rig the fencing match so that Hamlet ends up dead. Laertes agrees:

I will do't!

And for that purpose I'll anoint my sword.

I bought an unction of a mountebank,

So mortal that but dip a knife in it,

Where it draws blood no cataplasm so rare,

Collected from all simples that have virtue

Under the moon, can save the thing from death

This is but scratch'd withal. I'll touch my point

With this contagion, that, if I gall him slightly,

It may be death.

So, the poison on the rapier will kill Hamlet. But Claudius organises a back up plan:

Therefore this project

Should have a back or second, that might hold

If this did blast in proof. Soft! let me see.

We'll make a solemn wager on your cunnings—

I ha't!

When in your motion you are hot and dry—

As make your bouts more violent to that end—

And that he calls for drink, I'll have prepared him

A chalice for the nonce; whereon but sipping,

If he by chance escape your venom'd stuck,

Our purpose may hold there.

Claudius will put poison into a chalice, and offer it to Hamlet as a toast, if the rapier plan fails to work. So it's a two-point plan for killing him off.

Hope it helps!

To what extent does the portrayal of men and women support a patriarchal view of the world "a knights tale"
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The patriarchal vision in "a knights tale" is established as men are considered the center of society and hold leadership and governance positions, while women occupy positions of less importance and value.

Explanation:

Patriarchy is an economic and political system that places men of society as the holders of power and the center of society within a population. In this system, only men have social, economic and political privileges and are responsible for occupying leadership positions in all elements of society. Meanwhile, women are placed in devalued positions and are seen as weaker and less privileged elements.

We can see a representation of this "a knights tale" since men are placed as the great heroes and leaders, while women take on secondary roles.

“The crowd was as silent as death “ .Is that a metaphor or simile . Please explain .
777dan777 [17]
This a simile.  This is because a simile uses like or as to compare two things.  A metaphor doesn't use like or as, but it still compares things.
