<span>Okonkwo fills a very traditional role in the Umuofia clan, not only physically and socially, but also symbolically--his role as a symbol exists both in the course of the story and for us as readers. Okonkwo is constantly tormented by the sense that the "old ways" are falling out of fashion. His violent nature represents the human tendency to grasp tight what is comfortable and familiar. Without tradition, Oknonkwo would be powerless, a frustration and fear he lives out through violence.</span>

which excerpt from Frankenstein best reflects the 19th-century concern that scientists pursue their studies at any personal or m
Thepotemich [5.8K]

In this excerpt, we can read the conclusion of Victor Frankenstein about science: in the 19th century, scientists pursue their studies at any personal or moral cost:

"With a confusion of ideas  only to be accounted for by my extreme youth and my want  of a guide on such matters, I had retrod the steps of nowledge  along the paths of time and exchanged the discoveries  of recent inquirers for the dreams of forgotten alchemists.  Besides, I had a contempt for the uses of modern natural  philosophy. It was very different when the masters of the  science sought immortality and power; such views, although  futile, were grand; but now the scene was changed.  The ambition of the inquirer seemed to limit itself to the annihilation  of those visions on which my interest in science  was chiefly founded. I was required to exchange chimeras of  boundless grandeur for realities of little worth.

Such were my reflections during the first two or three  days of my residence at Ingolstadt, which were chiefly spent  in becoming acquainted with the localities and the principal  residents  (..)"

When the objective of the science experiments is only the recognition, the need for making something original and spectacular, to be regarded by other scientists the results could be terrible. For example, the creation of the poor monster of Frankenstein story.

Based on the dictionary entry, what is the meaning of the word struck in this sentence? The earthquake that struck California me
Gelneren [198K]
The correct answer is the second option - <span>to occur unexpectedly and have destructive or harmful effects.
</span>Here, the word struck is just a past form of the verb to strike, meaning to happen unexpectedly and have dire consequences, like an earthquake can hit California, in this case. The final definition is a noun, and does not fit in the context of the original sentence.

Phillis Wheatley's poem "To His Excellency, George Washington" was obviously an ode to George Washington, but what else might be
MissTica
Phillis Wheatley’s poem “To His Excellency General Washington” is as unique as the poet herself. The poem was sent to George Washington, the newly appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Armies of North America, in October of 1775, well before American Independence was declared in 1776.
