I would say Creon.


Hubris refers to excessive pride and self-confidence, which Creon exhibits in abundance. He put himself above gods, and his own civil laws above religious laws, which sparked the entire tragedy in this play. If it weren't for his hubris, then Antigone wouldn't have had to fight for her brother's righteous funeral, and everybody would still be alive. But then this wouldn't be a famous tragedy.

Sophocles primarily develops the element of hubris through Creon, when he tries to control matters that only the gods have the right to govern.

The term hubris refers to a personality characterized by extreme pride and arrogance, which generally leads to defiance or disobedience against the gods. In the play, Creon places himself above gods, and his own civil laws over religious laws, giving way to tragedy.

Creon is a figure in Greek mythology best known as the ruler of Thebes in the legend of Oedipus.

Which excerpt from Leslie Marmon Silko’s story "The Man to Send Rain Clouds" contains an example of personification?

A.The priest approached the grave slowly, wondering how they had managed to dig into the frozen ground. . . .

B.His fingers were stiff, and it took him a long time to twist the lid off the holy water.

C.The wind pulled the priest’s brown Franciscan robe and swirled away the corn meal and pollen that had been sprinkled on the blanket.

D. He felt good because it was finished, and he was happy about the sprinkling of the holy water. . . .

Answer:

C.The wind pulled the priest’s brown Franciscan robe and swirled away the corn meal and pollen that had been sprinkled on the blanket.

Explanation:

Personification is the literary element that gives human attributes to inanimate objects.

The wind is not a living thing but it is depicted as pulling down the priest's Franciscan robe and swirling away the corn meal and pollen that were already sprinkled on the blanket.

Personification in summary is using human attributes like walking, laughing, crying, singing, etc to depict non living things.

The metamorphosis is considered one of the first stories written in which genre of literature
Furkat [3]

Answer:

a.Magical realism

Explanation:

The metamorphosis is a novel that involves different themes as the absurdity of life, alienation, and satire or dark humor. We can put the novel in a very specific movement called "<em>Modernism</em>" in the late 19th and early 20th century. In this literary movement we can find this piece of literature in the "<em>absurdist fiction"</em>, when we talk about "<em>absurdist fiction</em>" we find the main problem that Kafka uses in the metamorphosis: the study of human behavior under certain circumstances that are purposeless or absurd as we see the character of Gregor Samsa fighting with himself as he became an insect. This "<em>absurdism</em>" is a type of fiction and we can include this story in the gender of Magical realism because it's the closest one with the absurdist fiction. Because of this, it is not in <u>nonfiction</u> and not in <u>science fiction</u> because it is considered a novel it is not <u>epic poetry</u>. Finally, <u>magical realism</u> it's a very new concept in literature and it's more associated with Latin American literature, for this reason, but we can put Kafka's work in this genre.
