Ode is highly solemn and serious in its tone and subject matter, and usually is used with elaborate patterns of stanzas. However, the tone is often formal. A salient feature of ode is its uniform metrical feet, but poets generally do not strictly follow this rule though use highly elevated theme.
you didnt include the options lol
Answer:
The story is set in Scandinavia. Beowulf, a hero of the Geats, comes to the aid of Hrothgar, the king of the Danes, whose mead hall in Heorot has been under attack by a monster known as Grendel. After Beowulf slays him, Grendel's mother attacks the hall and is then also defeated.lanation:
Allegory is a literary technique in which <em>a message or an idea is conveyed through a metaphor.</em> An allegory usually tells a story that is<em> a metaphor for real-world issues or complex ideas.</em> Allegories have been used throughout the history of art because they can make complex concepts comprehensible. These hidden or <em>complex meanings are symbolized by events, actions, figures or images. </em>
George Orwell's work <em>"Animal farm"</em> can be considered an <em>example of Allegory</em>. The work tells the story of animals in a farm that, trying to create a utopic society for themselves, are engaged in <em>corruption and betrail conflicts that symbolize real political conflicts</em> in the Communist Revolution of Russia. Orwell creates characters who are apparently just animals on a farm, to symbolize and represent his critics and points of view regarding the revolution. The animals represent human weaknesses and, their actions, human corruption.
Ambiguity is another literary technique, very different from an allegory. Works written using ambiguity are<em> based on inexactness, they are open to more than one interpretation.</em> Instead of representing a specific story or message, or trying to convey a specific idea, a<em>mbiguity creates a puzzle that can never be solved.</em> It generates reflection and it leaves a doubt in the air. The ambiguity is usually expressed <em>through a statement, and sometimes even carried by just a word</em>, instead of being held by an entire story with situations and figures. A statement or word that ties the knot to create a puzzle or vagueness is enough to evoke an ambiguity. Although, it can be a tool to build a character or to base a story on.
An example of ambiguity can be found in the <em>first line of the poem Ode to a Grecian Urn</em>, by John Keats. The poem says “Thou <em>still</em> unravish’d bride of quietness…”. Here, the word "still" can be understood<em> as something that doesn't move</em>, therefore is still, or <em>something that hasn't been changed yet</em>. The <em>ambiguity can't be solved</em>, so it creates a meaning that is open and that can be changed.
