Analyzing the Importance of Setting

English
1 answer:
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.”

Read the excerpt from part one of Trifles. COUNTY ATTORNEY. How did she seem to feel about you coming? HALE. Why, I don’t think
mario62 [17]

Answer:

It suggests that she did not care about his death.

Explanation:

Mrs. Wright, a character in the play <em>Trifles, </em>kills her husband because of her loneliness. The police and her neighbors come to her house to investigate. Mrs. Hale, when asked about how Mrs. Wright behaved, says that she laughed after killing her husband.

It would seem based on this that Mrs. Wright didn't feel anything bad about her husband's death. She experienced severe loneliness and depression in her small-town, rural life, that she didn't see another escape other than murdering her own husband. Even though the husband did not treat her badly, per se, she still felt the need to get rid of him and regain her freedom.
