Answer:

The speaker says they will be ashamed because they will see how beautiful he is.

Explanation:

This poem is in response to Whitman's "I Hear America Singing". In the poem Hughes, contrasts Whitman's idea that America is a place where everyone has value. However, Hughes does not see the same America as Whitman. People of his race are constantly tossed aside and banished to back rooms. They are not valued or respected. He tells the audience that "they" meaning the white people will be ashamed when they learn all that the African Americans have to offer the world.

docker41 [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

The lines of this excerpt that emphasizes on the role of fate are:

"What but the thought of our two brothers dead,

The one by Creon graced with funeral rites,

The other disappointed? Eteocles

He hath consigned to earth (as fame reports)

With obsequies that use and wont ordain,

So gracing him among the dead below…"

There was a strong belief among ancient Greeks that everything that happened in their lives was determined fate. This was the idea of destiny being controlled by the Gods.

These lines make reference to this idea that man may do things that bring them joy, but fate will sooner or later bring pain and sorrow since man´s final fate is always death. There is also a reference to Antigone's content after burying her brother.
