Which isbthe most accurate critique of "The Tell-Tale Heart"?

English

navik [9.2K]3 years ago
5 0

The engine of the story is the narrator's insistence, not on his innocence (which would be normal) but on his sanity. But this reveals a self-destructive drive, since it is pretending to demonstrate sanity through guilt in crime. His denial of madness is based, above all, on the systematic nature of his homicidal behavior, on his precision and on the rational explanation of an irrational behavior. This rationality, however, is undermined by its lack of motivation - "There was no reason. There was no passion. »-. However, the murderer claims that the idea was hovering day and night in his head. Thus, the final scene is nothing more than the result of the character's guilt. Like many other characters in traditional macabre literature, passions dictate their nature. And despite all his efforts, evidently, the pretense of having heard the heart beat at a distance, despite his acute sensitivity, is the evidence of madness and insanity. Readers of the time surely felt very interested in the subject of the allegation of transient madness that recreates the story.

Amanda [17]

Answer: whether, weather

Explanation: Looking at the Grey sky, Becky wondered WHETHER the WEATHER would ruin the class trip.

Weather and whether although having a similar pronunciation do not perform same function in a sentence.

Weather is used to describe the temperature and precipitation activity at a certain point in time while WHETHER is a word used as a condition between two likely outcomes.

Can someone read and answer the 8 questions for me its due today and i have to write a graduation speech :'( you'll get 20 point
OleMash [197]

Answer:

I already read the passage so u have nothing to fear.

1) The word, semi, would present the image of an ancient king who whilst knowing exactly how to rule a kingdom,still engages in the rather archaic and wild customs of his people.

2) The two things behind the doors were a young beautiful woman and a fierce man eating tiger.

3) I think that is isn't fair. The system is based on luck and chance and most of the time, luck is not balanced.

5)The princess knows what is behind the doors and which door contains what. That means that she has all the knowledge she needs to be of help to her young lover. But it is her turbulent emotions on the subject that will make or mar his predicament.

6)The lady behind the door most definitely likes her lover and would not be opposed to marrying him. So of course the princess will hate her and do anything to stop her from being happy.

8) The lady. As far as I know, based on the evidence from the story, the princess loves the soldier and loving him would not do anything to spoil his or her happiness. The greatest part of love is sacrifice,and semi-barbaric as she is, I think the princess would understand that. Even though she hates the Lady behind the door, the survival of her lover depended on his marriage to that lady.
