Answer:

Our Town is considered a universal work of literature because

C) The theme of Our Town transcends time and location.

Explanation:

"Our Town" is a play by Thornton Wilder. It tells the story of Emily and George, daughter and son of two of the main families in the fictional town of Grover's Corners. The story begins in 1901 and covers a part of Emily and George's childhood. The two of them get married but Emily dies at childbirth. The lesson learned by Emily after her death is that the living have very little understanding of life and death, and are incapable of seizing and enjoying the moment.

The theme above is universal. Life and death, childhood and maturity, a deeper understanding of life and love, it can all revolve around characters who live anywhere in the world at any time period. It is not exclusive of certain people, countries, or cultures. Even if we did not know anything about the play, we could infer the answer due to the explanation offered in the question. Aristotle said literature indicates what is true for all times and ages. We were told to read Aristotle's saying before choosing an answer. Therefore, we can safely conclude the best option is C) The theme of Our Town transcends time and location.

Who are macbeth's second and third victims? what reason does he give for killing them? why does lady macbeth faint? explain your

pogonyaev

1. Macbeth's second and third victims are the two guards who were standing in front of Duncan's bedroom door. His plan was to kill Duncan in his sleep, but the guards were preventing him from doing that. This is why he killed the two guards with the help of his wife. The reason why he did that was so that he could have someone to blame for the death of the king - he would say that he caught them killing the king, which is why he had to have them murdered as well.

2. Lady Macbeth fainted to distract everyone's attention to her. She knew that Macbeth was weak, and that if questioned, he would admit to everything - to killing Banquo, Duncan's guards, and Duncan himself. This is why she decided to take matters into her own hands and therefore she pretended to faint. Thus everyone gathered around her to help her, and Macbeth 'fortunately' didn't get the chance to reveal their crime to everyone.
