Consider the character of Louise Mallard. What transformation does she undergo in the story? Does her character develop primaril
Gala2k [10]

Answer and Explanation:

Louise Mallard is the main character in Kate Chopin's "The Story of an Hour." Even though the duration of what happens to Mrs. Mallard is really only of an hour, she undergoes great change.

<u>When the short story begins, Mrs. Mallard is but a subservient wife</u> who happens to have a heart condition. Hence, a friend and her sister are extremely cautious when telling her about her husband's death. J<u>ust like what is expected of her, Mrs. Mallard is sad. She goes upstairs to cry alone, and locks herself up in her room.</u>

<u>However,</u><u> once she sits by the open window, her transformation begins. Notice that this is developed primarily through internal thoughts.</u><u> Readers have access to what Mrs. Mallard is thinking and feeling, and can for that reason keep up with her change. She suddenly notices that world hasn't stopped turning, that others haven't stopped living, because of her husband's death. </u><u>By looking outside, she realizes that there is a whole world out there, full of excitement and experiences for her to live. She feels free for the first time in her life. She no longer needs to worry about explaining herself or asking for permission.</u>

<u>In a matter of an hour, Mrs. Mallard goes from submissive wife to independent woman. Her perception of life is altered by the sudden feeling of freedom. When she comes back downstairs, she is a completely different woman.</u> Unfortunately, she also dies upon coming downstairs. The shock of seeing her husband alive is too much for her sick heart to bear.

How is Macbeth’s attitude here different from his previous attitude in the play, particularly in the way he treats the servant
Aneli [31]

In the lines 1 from 18, Macbeth is very rude with the servant and he didn't believe what the servant says anymore. He also continuously insults the servant when he says, “Go... thy face and over... , / Thou lily-livered boy. What soldiers, patch? /... Those linen cheeks of thine / Are counselors to fear. What soldiers, whey-face” which are in lines 14-17. Also, Macbeth depicts the servant as a coward and a clown. Hope this helps.

Explanation:

The expedition of 1584 carried out by Philip Amadas and Arthur Barlowe had two objectives and they include; scouting for a place of possible settlement in the Roanoke Islands and making contact with the Algonquian people. On coming back, the expeditors came back with two Algonquian representatives named Wanchese and Manteo.
