MArishka [77]4 years ago

In Book XII of Homer's The Odyssey, Odysseus and his men are leaving the land of Circe and she advises them on where to go next. She tells them that they will run into Scylla or Charydbis. She told Odysseus that while Scylla would eat 6 of his men, the ship and the remaining men would be safe to continue their journey. On the other hand, if he sailed near Charydbis, it would swallow the whole ship and eat all men. It was a clear decision to make because it was preferable to lose only part of his crew than everyone.

Answer: To show that it is a metaphor and not literal

Explanation:

''Talk the hind legs of a donkey'' is having a meaning ''making a donkey sit down on its rear end'' which is not something that donkeys do naturally. It is used when we are describing a person who is talking to much. This phrase has its origins in Ireland.

MIRANDA: If by your art, my dearest father, you have
Sav [38]

Answer:

Shakespeare is using the monologue.

Explanation:

By reading the text above, we can see that Miranda is telling her father everything she thinks about what happened to the sinking ship and the people who were on it. She demonstrates all of her concern for this ship, what she would have liked to have happened and what she would do if she could avoid this tragedy. All of this is talked about in a long speech. In this way, we can see that Shakespeare made Miranda's speeches a monologue.

The monologue is a long and uninterrupted speech, where the character speaks everything she/he thinks and feels. At that moment, the character may be alone or not, the important thing is that she/he exposes her/his thoughts about something.

Mirando is a character in "The Tempest" a play written by Shakespeare, which tells the story of Pospero, former Duke of Milan, when he was with his daughter, Miranda, isolated on a desert island, planning revenge for those who usurped his real position.
