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.

Which statement is true of both Dove’s poem and Kahlo’s painting? They indicate the importance of natural elements in Kahlo’s li

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

They indicate the importance of natural elements in Kahlo’s life.

Explanation:

The poem "Sonnet in Primary Colors" and the painting Self-Portrait with Monkey and Parrot both put a strong emphasis on the natural elements that were very important in Frida Kahlo's life.

Kahlo was a great lover of nature; she always kept a garden in her house and she found animals important. Elements of flora and fauna can often be seen at her paintings, and this one is no exception. We see her in the garden or the field of bright colors accompanies by the monkey and the parrot with whom she stands in peace.

The poem also explains the importance of it, using many natural imageries when talking about Frida. Dove says she is "erect among parrots", compare her clothes to the peasant clothes (someone who works on the field, in nature, with plants and animals) and writes "wildflowers entwining the plaster corset". This refers to the corset Kahlo had to wear due to the back injury, which Dove here says is entwining with wildflowers, accenting Frida's connection with nature.

Rita Dove's poem "Sonnet in Primary Colors" and Frida Kahlo's painting Self-Portrait with Monkey and Parrot are in the attachment below.
