How does Tolstoy set up Gerasim to be a foil to Praskovya Fedorovna in these two excerpts from The Death of Ivan Ilyich? Gerasim

alone did not lie; everything showed that he alone understood the facts of the case and did not consider it necessary to disguise them, but simply felt sorry for his emaciated and enfeebled master. Once when Ivan Ilyich was sending him away he even said straight out: "We shall all of us die, so why should I grudge a little trouble?"—expressing the fact that he did not think his work burdensome, because he was doing it for a dying man and hoped someone would do the same for him when his time came. . . . When the examination was over the doctor looked at his watch, and then Praskovya Fedorovna announced to Ivan Ilyich that it was of course as he pleased, but she had sent today for a celebrated specialist who would examine him and have a consultation with Michael Danilovich (their regular doctor). "Please don't raise any objections. I am doing this for my own sake," she said ironically, letting it be felt that she was doing it all for his sake and only said this to leave him no right to refuse. He remained silent, knitting his brows. He felt that he was surrounded and involved in a mesh of falsity that it was hard to unravel anything.

Why does laertes´ behavior at ophelia´s funeral make hamlet so angry
erica [24]

Because Hamlet believes his love for ophelia is greater than Laertes . That Laertes grief is all for show and that he is exaggerating his loss . Hamlet goes on to say his loss is greater than Laertes and Hamlet would do many things for his love of Ophelia things that would show how deep his love for her is unlike Laertes.

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Response: The explanatory segment discusses the answer to that question.

Explanation:

First of all, Asad needs to bear in mind the two points from the textbook which are as follows:

1) People listening to a speaker focus more on the thoughts and ideas of a speaker than on the subtle elements of his or her transmission.

2) A significant portion of the discomfort of a speaker is not perceptible to the audience.
