What is the comparison and contrast of Odysseus and Polyphemus the cyclops?

English
1 answer:
AlexFokin [52]2 years ago
6 0
Both Odysseus and Polyphemus are, in a way, selfish and reckless characters. Whereas Polyphemus is a one-eyed man-eating beast, Odysseus doesn't hesitate to sacrifice the lives of other people when it suits his interests. Also, Odysseus presents himself to Polyphemus as "Nobody", which is a symbolic act of dehumanizing himself, bringing himself in line with the Cyclope.

As for contrast, it is more obvious. Odysseus represents the power of human intelligence and ingenuity, while Polyphemus is almost a caricature, a grotesque one-eyed being whose only advantage is the enormous strength and the fact that his father is Poseidon.

Answer:

Knows about invisibility:

  • Reader
  • The Bandaged man

Does not know about invisibility:

  • Mrs. Hall
  • Teddy Henfrey

This is based on the book by Herbert George Wells called, "The Invisible Man". In this book, the invisible man knows that he is invisible and uses it to his advantage. The reader who is able to read all that happens in the book, also knows that the man is invisible.

The other characters being Mrs. Hall and Mr. Henfrey do not know that the man is invisible which is why the invisible man is able to use his invisibility to his advantage by being amongst them inconspicuously.

Read the paragraph.
Anna [14]

Answer:

The answer is third-person limited.

Explanation:

Let's discuss the terms first.

1. <em>Third-person omniscient </em>occurs when the narrator includes all the voices of all the characters in a story. That is, a story is told from different points of view. In this paragraph, we only know about Ben, what he does, sees, his boss.

2. <em>First person and third person</em>. The narrator uses the third person to talk about Ben but he neves uses the first person, i.e. <em>I</em> or <em>we</em>.

3. <em>First person</em>. The story is narrated by the character himself/herself. We know everything from his point of view. The use of "I" and "we" will appear this narrative.

4. Third person limited. This is the correct answer. The narrator presents one character and closely follows him: what he does, what he says, his feelings and thoughts. The characters are described using pronouns (he,she, they,etc). In this paragraph, the narrator includes Ben. He is described as being on a bench on his lunch break, watching the birds eat. He doesn't like being late. He is thinking about why his boss is never around. Every action revolves around Ben and you can find the proun "he" to describe him.
