Why might Shakespeare use thy or thee rather then you in a characters speech what might be the purpose of change in wording

<span>I had this same question and this was the correct answer:
</span><span>Thee, Thou, Thy and Thine (You and Your)
</span>It’s a common myth that Shakespeare never uses the words “you” and “your” – actually, these words are commonplace in his plays. However, he also uses the words “thee / thou” instead of “you” and the word “thy / thine” instead of “your”. Sometimes he uses both “you” and “thy” in the same speech. This is simply because in Tudor England the older generation said “thee” and “thy” to denote a status or reverence for authority. Therefore when addressing a king the older “thou” and “thy” would be used, leaving the newer “you” and “your” for more informal occasions. Soon after Shakespeare’s lifetime, the older form passed away!

Answer: 3

Explanation:

In the next illustration, each symbol ("-" and "|") represent the blocks from the example provided.

Paco  - - -  Mike

 |                  |

 |                  |

 |                  |

 |    David     |

Ed     |            |

        |            |

        |            |

    Tony  -  Ramil    

According to this layout, to go to David´s house from Ed´s, Ed should walk 1 block to the north and two blocks to the east. On the other hand, to go to Ed´s house from Davids´s, David should walk 1 block to the south and two blocks to the west, meaning that they live 3 blocks apart.

The description of the lottery in paragraph 1 is meant to make the reader feel —
mamaluj [8]

“The Lottery” is a short story written by the famous writer Shirley Jackson in 1943. The Lottery tells the story of a small village that holds a lottery every year to decide which person from the village is going to be stoned by the other villagers. However, the reader does not know about this until the very end. In the first paragraph, Jackson describes the lottery in a way that it creates uncertainty. She starts creating so much suspense that the reader may feel uneasy, anxious or disturbed since he/she may not fully understand what the lottery is about. As far as we know, lotteries are generally played in a different way, with papers or numbers and players usually receive a nice reward, such as money and nice objects. However, in Jackson’s story, the reader is not sure why the villagers are meeting up in the center of the village or why the children from the village are collecting and stones. So, the way Jackson starts this story makes the readers read until the very end in order to find out what is actually going on.
