Analyzing the Importance of Setting

English

Svet_ta [14]3 years ago

Answer:

The two ideas from the setting that influence the way characters act in this passage are:

B. the idea that people should not argue in public

E. the custom of saving women and children first

Explanation:

"A Night to Remember" is a novel by Walter Lord which gives an account of the disastrous first trip of the Titanic. As we know, the ship began its journey toward America but ended up sinking after a tragic collision with an iceberg in 1912.

The fact that the story is set in 1912 is of great importance to understand how and why the characters behave in certain ways. Society at the beginning of the 20th century lived under different, more strict, social rules than it does now. People would, for instance, avoid any sort of disagreement in public, since it was frowned upon. That is represented in the first fragment: "Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Meyer of New York felt so self-conscious arguing about it in public that they went down to their cabin."

It is also important to understand that, in sinking ships, it is a rule to save children and women first. The story being set on a ship explains the second fragment: "When they say ‘Women and children to the boats,’ you must go when your turn comes. I'll stay here with Jack Thayer. We’ll be all right.”

The tale of "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" is one of the famous Arthurian romance stories of Middle English Era. It narrates the story of how a mysterious Green Knight came to the court of King Arthur and posed a challenge to the men. Sir Gawain volunteered himself after no one stood up to the Green Knight except the King himself. He challenged Sir Gawain to a bet where he be hit with three strokes of the sword and if he doesn't die, he will also return the 'favor'. After Sir Gawain took his chance but didn't seem to hurt him even a bit, the Green Knight said he will be taking his offer after a year and a day, and asked him to come to a green chapel somewhere not around King Arthur's land. The Green Chapel that he mentioned in his game will be mysterious just as he himself was.
