The first glance, the Green Knight is described to be impressive for his physical build.

"Half giant upon earth, I hold him to have been,

In every way of men the tallest he, I ween -"


Second to this physic, the next thing the author describes is his horse and attire;  very green.

"All green bedight that knight, and green his garments fair"

"The very steed beneath the self same semblance ware,"


The author emphasizes the details and quality of the Green Knight's attire. (ex: They gleamed and glittered all with green stones rich and rare) Not only does this indicate that the Green Knight is of high importance, but his appearance hints that he may possibly be a mythical character.

Answer:

Sample answer: The crowd’s response is realistic; people are amazed, fearful, curious, and courteous. The green knight is supernatural. He and his horse shine green, and some people think he is a phantom or fairy.

Make an inference about Friar Laurence and Romeo’s relationship, and compare it to the nurse and Juliet’s relationship. Write th
iren [92.7K]
Although Friar Laurence is different from the nurse in terms of personality and how he holds himself, both he and the nurse are similar with their relationships with Romeo and Juliet. With Friar Laurence and Romeo, Romeo relies on Friar Laurence not to tell anyone about him and Juliet, and further asks him to participate by wedding them. This is similar to Juliet and the nurse because the nurse is also aware of Romeo and Juliet’s relationship, but doesn’t tell anyone, and further participated by hiding their relationship and covering for Juliet. One more similarity is that FL and Romeo both rely on each not to reveal R&J’s relationship, because although the Friar is not apart of the relationship, if it were to be revealed, so would the Friar’s participation in it, and the same goes for Juliet and the nurse.

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

I'd say the answer is choice C.

Given the provided information I'm assuming the narrator find Mangan's sister as a goal or an idol of sorts who they see hope wisdom and in this case, light. Light can be used as Mangan's sister's symbolism of great, or ideal.

When the narrator see's the sister he/she/they is reminded of light and goodness.
