<u>
Explanation:
</u>
-
Landscape with the Fall of Icarus is a canvas oil painting by "Pieter Bruegel the Elder" that depicts the legs of Icarus splashing into the water as its wings collapse.
- Icarus is often used as a metaphor for human pride and ambition. This exhibits the humanity, the season, the farmer and nature. Silently the author questions human nature and their self interest.
-
The poem sets out a rising theme of irresponsibility and individualism between mankind. Nowadays no one has time to consider about and stress about the concerns of others.
- The Fall of Icarus is humanity's downfall. This also shows weakening human ideals and human nature. Icarus interacted fairly with both nature and humans. The farmer had been able to support Icarus and keep him alive. Likewise, Icarus showed little loyalty to both the sun and the sea.
Answer:
This passage is from chapter 6 of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby", where Nick believes Jay Gatsby's dream of getting Daisy back after all the years is ending.
Explanation:
In Chapter 6 of "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Nick Carraway narrates how Jay Gatsby had wanted to get back with his former lover Daisy. But Daisy had already married Tom Buchanan, who Jay despises.
Tom and Daisy had come to Gatsby's house to party and Tom had decided to follow Daisy just to keep an eye on Gatsby. After the party got over and everyone has left, Gatsby exclaimed to Nick that Daisy is different, that "<em>she doesn't understand</em>". When asked further, Nick realizes that Jay wanted Daisy to leave her husband and come to him. He wanted her to "<em>obliterate the four years</em>" she's married to Tom, and "<em>go back to Louisville and be married from her house—just as if it were five years ago</em>". For Gatsby's part, it sounded a bit greedy, expecting her to act how he wanted things to be.
Madly in love with her, he wanted to get back with her on his terms, not thinking of what the others will feel. This, Nick feels, is the blatant end of Gatsby's dream which was to get Daisy back. This is his version of truth, Daisy telling Tom "<em>I never loved you</em>" and go to Jay, while the truth was that it was just a dream, wishful thinking. Unable to see past his own fantasies and wants, he believes and want/ expect Daisy to return to him.
