What would be the antecedents in this sentence? ""No one knew who brought the banana bread to the potluck dinner.""

English

Answer:

The pronoun has <u>no stated antecedent</u>.

Explanation:

In the sentence "No one knew who brought the banana bread to the potluck dinner," the pronoun is "no one". "No one" is an indefinite pronoun, which means it does not refer to someone in particular. Indefinite pronouns, unlike other pronouns, do not have specified antecedents. For example, in a sentence such as "Claire is coming over. She's bringing wine," we can clearly find the antecedent for the pronoun "she", that is, the word to which "she" refers. It is Claire. "She" is used to substitute Claire. However, in a sentence such as "Someone ate the cookie," we have an indefinite pronoun. "Someone" does not have an antecedent, it does not refer to a particular person. Therefore, when it comes to the sentence in the question, the best way to explain it is that it <u>has no stated antecedent</u>.

What are some ways director throughout history have adapted "Macbeth"?
krek1111 [17]
There have been about a dozen more or less famous movie adaptations of Shakespeare's tragedy. Most of them were more or less faithful to the original plot and setting. One of the foremost was Orson Welles' 1948 adaptation, with himself in the title role. Welles wanted to show the broader context of political struggle with the introduction of religious struggle - so he introduced a new character, The Holy Man, who was to represent the new religious force of Christianity juxtaposed to the old paganism that the Weird Sisters embodied. However, Akira Kurosawa's "Throne of Blood" (1957) was arguably the most successful adaptation from a cinematic point of view. Kurosawa changed the setting to medieval Japan, with Japanese aristocracy representing the Macbeth couple. Thus Kurosawa universalized the theme of political corruption and personal greed, showing them in an entirely different milieu.
