English

Hunter-Best [27]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Oedipus is motivated by too much pride or hubris. He sees himself as a glorified man because the people in the town considers him a hero and a successor to the throne. His hubris contributes to the plot in a such a way that a conflict arises between him and Teiresias when he is confronted of accusations of killing Laius.

1. In lines 1-14, mark vivid sensory details describing the time of year. Why does Chaucer focus on these sensory details? What
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

The lines describing the time of the year are:

When April with his showers sweet with fruit ----- 1

The drought of March has pierced unto the  

root                                                                      ---------2

When Zephyr also has, with his sweet breath, ----------5

Quickened again, in every holt and heath, ----------------6

Then do folk long to go on pilgrimage ---------------------13

Chaucer focuses on these sensory details because he is trying to emulate some Latin and Greek authors who introduce their poems by creating inspiration through a muse. Chaucer then chooses to create inspiration by describing a natural phenomenon of the earth replenishing itself.

From the lines above, the season of the year is spring just after winter. The description implies spring as a symbol of rebirth and new life. A time when the earth replenishes itself after the dry air of winter, a time when there is rain, fresh air and when people long to go on pilgrimage.

Why is the example below considered a theme and not a plot summary?
Tomtit [17]
This is a theme because it is a concept NOT the story line. A plot summary is basically the story line as if you were writing a summary of the book or story.
