Which lines in this excerpt from Arthur Conan Doyle's “The Contest” suggest that Emperor Nero was ruthless? An hour later the sh

epherd was well on his way to his mountain home, and about the same time the Emperor, having received the Chaplet of Olympia for the incomparable excellence of his performance, was making inquiries with a frowning brow as to who the insolent person might be who had dared to utter such contemptuous criticisms. “Bring him to me here this instant,” said he, “and let Marcus with his knife and branding-iron be in attendance.” “If it please you, great Caesar,” said Arsenius Platus, the officer of attendance, “the man cannot be found, and there are some very strange rumours flying about.” “Rumours!” cried the angry Nero. “What do you mean, Arsenius? I tell you that the fellow was an ignorant upstart, with the bearing of a boor and the voice of a peacock. I tell you also that there are a good many who are as guilty as he among the people, for I heard them with my own ears raise cheers for him when he had sung his ridiculous ode. I have half a mind to burn their town about their ears so that they may remember my visit.” “It is not to be wondered at if he won their votes, Caesar,” said the soldier, “for from what I hear it would have been no disgrace had you, even you, been conquered in this conquest.” “I conquered! You are mad, Arsenius. What do you mean?” “None know him, great Caesar! He came from the mountains, and he disappeared into the mountains. You marked the wildness and strange beauty of his face. It is whispered that for once the great god Pan has condescended to measure himself against a mortal.”

How do Danforth’s and Hathorne’s reactions to Giles Corey’s interruption of the court proceedings differ? What does it say about
Nikolay [14]

Answer and Explanation:

When they are judging Martha Corey for witchcraft, the lawsuit is interrupted by Giles Corey who shouts that he has evidence that Martha is not a witch and that she has been wrongly accused. To contain this scandal, Giles is taken to another room and some men decide to speak to him, among these men are Danforth and Hathorne who, despite being shocked by the interruption, showed very different reactions, which say a lot about the personality of each one.

Danforth reacts in an extremely calm and focused manner, he does not believe that Corey has enough evidence to reverse the outcome of the trial. This calmness is the result of the reputation that Danforth created in being affectionate with witches, he knows that nobody will stop believing in him to believe in Giles.

Hathorne, on the other hand, does not have such a good reputation and questions Giles for this behavior, as well as reproaching him for "roarin" and causing a scene in court. Hathorne is nervous and afraid that he will not be effective in a trial and that it will damage his reputation.
