A man (or a human to be politically correct). In Greek mythology, a monster in the city of Thebes called the Sphinx would ask this question to any passerby and if they couldn't answer it correctly, the Sphinx would eat him/her. In the morning, the man is a baby and he crawls on fours. In the afternoon, a man is grown and walks on two feet. In the evening, the man is old and requires a cane to walk. The man who solved this riddle was Oedipus who, upon solving it, caused the Sphinx to fling herself off a cliff and commit suicide.

nadezda [96]

Some critical questions that a person can ask when making a character analysis are:

  • Is this role suitable for the character?
  • Would this role help advance the plot?
  • How would the audience view this character and his roles?

These critical questions would help in the analysis of a character as this would show if the roles are suitable, how effective they were and how they were received by the audience.

Also, this is vital and essential to analyse a theme and find out better ways to develop the theme based on the characterization and other important factors.

<h3>What is Character Development?</h3>

This refers to the various changes that a character undergoes as his role becomes more dynamic in the advancement of a plot.

Hence, we can see that although your question is unclear as it misses critical information, a general overview was given above to give you a better understanding of the concept.

What group of people is swift likely referring to by the name "big-endians" in
Gala2k [10]

The group of people is swift likely referred to by the name "big-endian" in this passage, c. blefuscudians. Thus, option "C" is correct.

<h3>In the story from gulliver's travels of how the dispute arose between the big-endians and the little-endians, the chief objects of swift's satire are?</h3>

In Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels", the protagonist Lemuel Gulliver is the source of Swift's satirical and even outbursts for criticizing the political situation of England. He also uses numerous characters to satirize the English government and society as a whole.

In Chapter 4, Reldresal had narrated to Gulliver how the two nations of Lilliput and Blefuscu first came against each other.

The issue is the mere order of the then king to break their eggs from the small end, leading to the division among the people into Big-endians and Little-endians. This led to massive uproar, where "one emperor lost his life, and another his crown". Moreover, "eleven thousand persons have at several times suffered death, rather than submit to break their eggs at the smaller end". This trivial issue which led to such massive conflict is a satire upon the trivial and petty nature of English people to easily get into conflicts.

Thus, option "C" is correct.
