Which lines in this excerpt from Book 12 of Homer's Odyssey reveal that the monster Scylla cannot be defeated in battle, even by

a great warrior such as Ulysses?
Book Twelve

"At sea once more we had to pass the Sirens, whose sweet singing lures sailors to their doom. I had stopped up the ears of my crew with wax, and I alone listened while lashed to the mast, powerless to steer toward shipwreck. Next came Charybdis, who swallows the sea in a whirlpool, then spits it up again. Avoiding this we skirted the cliff where Scylla exacts her toll. Each of her six slavering maws grabbed a sailor and wolfed him down. Deathless the pest! impenetrably strong!
Furious and fell, tremendous to behold!
E'en with a look she withers all the bold!
She mocks the weak attempts of human might. Finally we were becalmed on the island of the Sun. My men disregarded all warnings and sacrificed his cattle, so back at sea Zeus sent a thunderbolt that smashed the ship. I alone survived, washing up on the island of Calypso."

Explanation:

Dr. King echoes a Biblical allusion from Psalms 30:5—“weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning”--when he says, "it came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity,” meaning how like joyous daybreak was the moment when the dark night of slavery was over.

Umm... not quite sure what you're looking for... but a theme of <em>To Kill A Mockingbird</em> is racial prejudice because the whole reason Tom lost his case is the fact that he was a black man; it was open-and-shut really.

After reading both excerpts from the novel "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," we can say that Dr. Jekyll, in excerpt 2, is:

B. Concerned.

<h3>What is said in excerpt 2?</h3>
  • In the second excerpt, Dr. Jekyll expresses his concerns over the fact that his alter-ego, Mr. Hyde, seems to be incorporating his normal self.
  • Mr. Hyde represents the repressed side of Dr. Jekyll, his flaws and impulses. Jekyll fears that his normal self might disappear, and only Mr. Hyde will remain.

The two excerpts are the following:

Excerpt 1:

I had but to drink the cup, to doff at once the body of the noted professor, and to assume, like a thick cloak, that of Edward Hyde. I smiled at the notion;  it seemed to me at the time to be humourous; and I made my preparations with the most studious care.

Excerpt 2:

Now, however, and in the light of that morning's accident, I was led to remark that whereas, in the beginning, the difficulty had been to throw off the body of Jekyll, it had of late gradually but decidedly transferred itself to the other side. All things therefore seemed to point to this; that I was slowly losing hold of my original and better self, and becoming slowly incorporated with my second and worse.
