English
1 answer:
Kryger [21]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

True. Homer uses irony in Menelaus's speaking with Helen about her history.

Explanation:

In Book 2 of "The Odyssey", Telemachus had arrived at the kingdom of Sparta and was staying with Menelaus. There, during dinner, they converse on the bravery of Odysseus and Menelaus and Helen began telling of stories about their knowledge of him. Helen expresses her praise for Odysseus and said that while she was in Troy as the wife of Paris, she had seen through the disguise of Odysseus but she did not report him to the Trojans as she misses her home and husband. This was responded by Menelaus as being "quite a tale". In this discourse between husband and wife, Homer uses irony and sarcasm.

LITERARY ANALYSIS: Heart of Darkness is narrated from the perspective of a European exploring Africa. The passage conveys his pe
GuDViN [60]

The author characterizes the narrator as a man who was strongly shaken by everything he witnessed in Africa.

This can be seen because:

  • The book's narrator, Marlow, is very excited to participate in the journey to colonize Africa.
  • This excitement is created by a strong influence of the setting where he finds himself.
  • This scenario is a prosperous Europe, due to strong colonization.
  • However, the narrator's excitement ends when he arrives in Africa.
  • The setting in Africa is very different from the setting in Europe.
  • In Africa, the narrator interacts with a scenario of poverty, exploitation, violence, devaluation, and decadence, all created by European colonizers.
  • The narrator is very shaken by this scenario and shows himself to be a physically and mentally ill man. He becomes weak, distraught, and unable to act normally.

This change in narrator characterization is very significant for "Heart of Darkness." This is because the author wanted to present an anti-colonial story, as he wanted to show that all people involved in colonialism and imperialism were negatively affected.
