The Answer is

Ahab’s hatred of Moby D

Ahab’s connection to Moby D

the destructive power of nature

Without intentionally trying to be crude, it can be said that the leg symbolizes two things: phallic manhood and human science versus nature. With regards to the first symbolism, it is necessary to point out that Moby <u>D ick</u> bit Ahab’s leg almost up to the groin, where his p enis and thus his manhood are located. Of course, the animal did not calculate such action but for Ahab it is a very painful and symbolic act of emasculation. The fact that the peg leg that he uses in made of whale<u>bone</u> further reinforces this analysis and Ahab is irrationally determined to have revenge for what he psychologically interprets as such. Also, Ahab personifies the industrial arrogance of civilized individuals who believe that nature is to be completely tamed, exploited and controlled by mankind. Thus, by turning the whalebone into an artificial leg, Ahab is asserting his towering dominance over nature.

Answer:

It is okay to lie to your enemies.

Explanation:

Icarus and Daedalus are both figures from Greek mythology. Daedalus was a remarkable Athenian craftsman who created the Labyrinth for King Minos of Crete to imprison the Minotaur. However, Daedalus ends up imprisoned in the Labyrinth with his son, Icarus. A part of their escape plan were the wings Daedalus made from feathers and wax. He hid these wings from the king and managed to escape. These events suggest that it's alright to lie to your enemies. That is the only way you could possibly escape from them.

However, the ending of the myth isn't a fortunate one. Icarus flew too close to the sun despite his father's warnings, causing the wax in his wings to melt off, and fell into the sea, where he drowned.

What would the reasons be for the change during Edwardian Era
Orlov [11]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options for this question we can say the following.

The reasons for the change during the Edwardian Era were that new King Edward VII inherited the English throne after Queen Victoria, so one of the firsts things that newly King Edward VII wanted to do was to end with the conservative customs that characterized the Victorian times.

The Edwardian era was a time of costly parties in Buckingham Palace with aristocratic people. The richest and wealthiest people in England dressed in fancy clothes to attend the parties and celebrations.

Guest invested too much money in fashion clothes to be part of these elite gatherings. Regarding sports, hunting was the main sport in the court.
