Odysseus had to rescue his men from the lotus-eaters because his men had lost all will of continuing on their journey home. When he sent some men to explore the island, they met the lotus-eaters, which introduced them to the lotus plant. The lotus plant made them forget all about their journey and their families. Odysseus had to drag them onboard, ignoring their wailing cries to be left alone, in order to continue on their journey.

Having the lotus makes you forget and Odysseus couldn't have that as he wanted to get home to his wife and son so he had to carry his men back to the ships and tie them.

How do the elements of drama help you understand the characters perspective

Arte-miy333 [17]

A character is an imaginary person who takes part in the action of a play.Drama tends to compress and simplify the personalities of characters, often relying on types to quickly sketch out and draw contrasts between them. Unlike fiction, plays do not usually have narrators who can provide the reader or viewer with background information on characters. Consequently, the information we receive about them is limited to the dialogue they themselves speak.The main character, or leading role, of a dramatic text is called the protagonist.The antagonist is the counterpart or opponent of the protagonist.In more traditional or popular dramatic texts, the protagonist may be called a hero or heroine, and the antagonist may be called the villain. Dramatic texts also include minor characters or supporting roles. Sometimes a supporting role can be said to be a foil, a character designed to bring out qualities in another character by contrast. All the characters in a drama are interdependent and help to characterize each other.Because of time constraints and the lack of narrators or room for exposition in dramatic texts, playwrights use shortcuts like stereotypes to convey character. Everyone involved, including the audience, consciously or unconsciously relies on stereotypes, or assumptions about various social roles, to understand characters. In the United States today, casting—or typecasting—usually relies on an actor's social identity, from gender and race to occupation, region, age, and values. Sometimes playwrights, directors, and actors overturn or modify expectations or conventions of characterization in order to surprise the audience.

what is ironic in the words used by the narrator to describe the summoner in "the prologue" to the canterbury tales. Youd meet n

Dafna1 [17]

The ironic thing in the words used by the narrator to describe the summoner in "the prologue" to The Canterbury Tales is:

The Summoner was corrupt and was ready to forgive a transgression for a cup of wine

According to the complete text, we can see that the Summoner is trying to convince a transgressor that he would allow him to keep a concubine if only he gave him a quart of wine.

As a result of this, we can see that the ironic thing is that the Summoner is supposed to be a church excommunicator who is sent by the Archdeacon to expunge people who committed offences against the doctrines of the church but he was willing to accept a bribe so that he would not do his job.
