What extent does Richard Nixon most clearly represent the Aristotle definition of a tragic hero

English

zvonat [6]3 years ago

Richard Nixon can, to some extent, be described as a tragic hero. A tragic hero, according to Aristotle, is a character who possesses many important qualities, as well as one major flaw. This flaw or error in judgement is what brings about the downfall of the character. Most of the time, the fall is enormous as these heroes were quite successful before their fall.

In the case of Nixon, his major error in judgement would be Watergate. Nixon acted in a wrong way in all matters related to this problem. His error in judgement led him to fall from his successful position (President), which occurred when he resigned.

Match each type of diction to the tone it creates.
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

- charged language  - emotional tone

- formal, elevated language  - serious tone

- casual, informal language  - friendly tone

Explanation:

Charged language refers to the type of language characterized by many subtle implications, which are made in order to persuade a specific audience, by engaging their emotions.  

e.g. A  person who supports community reforms could be described as a "citizen enthusiastic about community reforms" or as "a citizen obsessed with community reforms."

Formal, elevated language is characterized by serious tone, less personal structures, use of complex structures, deprived of colloquialisms and simple constructions. We usually use a formal language for academic purposes or when we talk to people we do not know very well.

Casual, informal language is characterized by a friendly tone, and simple, more personal structures. We use informal language when we talk to our friends and family or when writing some personal emails or text messages.

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Quote... “And then quite suddenly in another flash, as if lifted by a new strength and resolve, he leaped. No great leap for a man, but a leap in the dark.”

Answer... This quote is saying that Bilbo took a brave leap. The new strength being described here is metaphorical for getting bravery. Not only is Bilbo being brave in this moment, he is stepping outside of his comfort zone. The "flash" means he got a wave of bravery.
