Answer: Gleeful

The excerpt describes the ritual of a man who is spying on an old man at night. We know this because the room is dark and the old man is asleep in his bed. Although the narrator is describing a creepy and scary ritual, he sounds satisfied, and even gleeful. He seems proud of his actions and at his excellent execution. He also argues that the fact that he can act so carefully and effectively shows that he cannot be mad.

I would say the narrator is gleeful even though he is dealing with a delicate situation . The following sentence indicates a gleeful mood "Oh, you would have laughed to see how cunningly I thrust it in!" And then "Ha! would a madman have been so wise as this? " this line also indicates a gleeful mood at his giddy happiness at being so successful as not awakening the old man.

olga_2 [115]

First of all Zeus has no mother.In this sense he is like Athene because she was born from his forehead and has no mother either.She is the godess of wisdom and on many ocassions Zeus is sought for advice on the same matter.Both are corageous and wise.Zeus seems to have this ability to procreate and Athene is also godd at giving birth to inventions useful for men.Also they are the older gods together with Dionysious.She acts on her own initiative without asking Zeus and the god, in turn acts according to his will without asking any other.Both usually work together and are the most powerful of the gods.

How and when does imagination overcome reason?

bonufazy [111]

There are several situations in which imagination can overcome reason.
One of the most common ones are when you're paranoid or you are fearful of something. In this case, your imagination starts creating the worst possible scenarios that can ever occur. However, when going through the situation itself, you will actually find that it is less terrifying than what you imagined and that your were just trapped in your imagination.
