The tempest in lines 16-17 what is personified in these lines

English

Kamila [148]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The storm is being personified in lines 16-17 of The Tempest.

Explanation:

Personification means giving human traits to an inanimate object. Personification is a literary device used by many authors to add depth and interest to their writing.

In lines 16-17 of The Tempest: "You are a councilor.

If you can command these elements to silence and work the peace of the present,

we will not hand a rope more"

The elements in question refer to the storm, which was given a human trait with the sentence 'if you can command these elements to silence...'.

You can command or silence a person, but you can't do that to a storm.

So, the statement personified the storm (elements) with the human trait of being commanded and silence.

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Without the string from Ariadne, it would have been very hard for Theseus to escape the maze. "Theseus, take this, she whispered. Even if you kill the Minotaur, you will never find your way out again" (E2BN.org, Commonlit). She requests Theseus to take her with him and she also thinks he will marry her.  He doesn't find her attractive and therefore leaves her stranded on an island.  "In his haste to get away, Theseus forgot to change his sails to white. King Aegeus, waiting on the headland, saw the ship approaching with its black sails flying in the wind"(E2BN.org, Commonlit).
