Vladimir  seems to be the only person who undestands his father´s illness.Uncorrupted by the social world in which he grew up thanks to his father, he is capable of trying to connect with Ivan.Ivan himself  can see the look in the eyes of his son, he understands Vaya´s feelings are different from the falsity of the wife and daughter.

Lisa shares her views with those of her mother.More materialistic and self- indulgent she is deeply disturbed by her father´s indisposition.When in the room where his father is lying she and her mother comment on the acting of Sarah Bernhardt,she notices her father´s disapproval and leaves the room.She has not been there to take care of his father but to fulfil a sense of duty given her position.

Tolstoy appears to support the view of the boy.Ivan has learned a lesson about the material world, and hipocrisy and the boy sympathises with the father.

Vladimir and Lisa react differently to their father’s deteriorating health. Vladimir shows compassion for his father’s suffering. Lisa is thinking only of her upcoming marriage, and she considers her father’s sickness a hindrance to her happiness. Tolstoy portrays their contrasting attitudes toward their father’s suffering in these lines:

Their daughter came in in full evening dress, her fresh young flesh exposed (making a show of that very flesh which in his own case caused so much suffering), strong, healthy, evidently in love, and impatient with illness, suffering, and death, because they interfered with her happiness. . . .

His son had always seemed pathetic to him, and now it was dreadful to see the boy's frightened look of pity. It seemed to Ivan Ilyich that Vasya was the only one besides Gerasim who understood and pitied him.

Tolstoy portrays Lisa as callous and self-centered like her mother, Praskovya Fedorovna. In contrast, he portrays Vladimir as potentially capable of living a meaningful life like Gerasim does. Gerasim represents Tolstoy’s view of an authentic life, with the qualities of emotional honesty, empathy, and compassion.

Answer:

The form of appeal in the statement " <em>a prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant is unfit to be the ruler of a free people</em> " is called <u>Ethos Appeal.</u>

<em>This is because, the ruler has no moral standing to rule people due to his character which is not empathetic towards its citizens.</em>

Answer:

Your answer is Option A

Explanation:

Based on the given poem, the narrator says that he hears the flute of the narrator from his room and it is very beautiful, when it is dark.

He further narrates that in the daytime when the neighbor plays the flute, he does not want to hear it because it is daylight and the neighbor is far and has a bald head so he runs away and looks for something else to occupy his time.

When night time approaches, when he bears the flute, he tries to remove the image of the fat, bald man and think of him as a young man and the music is sweet to his ears once again.

The contrast the narrator creates develops the theme of the poem by portraying the narrator's vanity by wanting the beauty of the music to match the image of the man (option A)
