Love is like the wild rose-briar, Friendship is like the holly-tree— The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms But which will

bloom most constantly? The wild rose-briar is sweet in spring, Its summer blossoms scent the air; yet wait till winter comes again And who will call the wild-briar fair? What clues do these supporting details provide about the poem's main idea?

Answer:

These supporting details reveal the speaker of the poem thinks friendship is more constant than love.

Explanation:

The excerpt we are studying here was taken from Emily Bronte's "Love and Friendship". In this poem, the speaker compares love to a wild-briar, while friendship is likened to a holly-tree. Love, like the rose-briar, is intense. Its scent fills the air, and it blooms beautifully, but as soon as winter comes, it perishes. Winter is a metaphor for difficulties. In the speaker's opinion, love does not survive hardship. On the other hand, like a holly-tree, friendship lasts. It may not be as attractive as a rose-briar, but it is constant, and does not die during winter. Friendship is, therefore, more constant than love, and that is the main idea of the poem.

The influence of Greek tragedy as filtered through Seneca can still be seen in modern plays, movies, and literature. Select a pl
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

Let's take one of the most influential and popular novels of the 21st century - George R. R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire". This work is all the more appropriate to showcase the influence of Greek, Senecan and Elizabethan tragedies since the series have been turned into a critically acclaimed TV show.

Explanation:

These epic fantasy novels deal with a noble family, which is one of the prerequisites of all three types of tragedy we are dealing with here. Furthermore, many of the protagonists from the Stark family are the so-called "flawed heroes" - well-intended and principled people who often end up stranded (or dead) because of their terrible mistakes or oversights.

<u>One notable example of a tragic hero is the head of the family, Eddard Stark.</u> He is an honorable man who ends up betrayed and executed because he took part in the dangerous game of thrones yet refused to play by the dirty rules that would help him save his head and family. In a way, he would have his cake and eat it, which is of course impossible. Ultimately, his great pride and self-righteousness border on <u>hubris</u>, leading him to think that his perspective is the only right one.

There is also <u>Arya's complex and elaborate revenge</u> that's been carefully plotted throughout multiple volumes of the work. Having survived all the family turmoil, she embarks on a personal journey that will be anything but your conventional coming-of-age story. She will learn to fight, survive, and kill her enemies with great skill and imagination. Her bloodthirstiness is a true Senecan feature.

On the other hand, there are <u>Bran's prophetic dreams</u> about the Three-Eyed Raven. Through them, he gradually learns who he really is and how he can overcome his physical disability. These dreams are not just about his own predicament though. They also provide him with an insight into the terrible challenge the whole humanity is facing. Of course, these dreams are not using plain language but symbols and metaphors - just like the Delphi oracle in Greek tragedies.
