Based on her letter to her niece, Austen can't believe that her niece is truly "in love". Austen believes that her feelings were simply due to the proximity of the man and because of it, she can't say that she is truly "in love". She mistakes her emotions towards the man as something that is deeper, love.

Society during those times doesn't believe and allow women to think for themselves. They equate women, particularly wives, as extensions of their husbands and because of such thinking, society believes that women can't think on their own and must do her husband's bidding.

Which of the following lines from Shakespeare's Sonnet 130 most strongly that the narrator does not think the dark

Drupady [299]

Answer:

• Coral is far more red than her lips' red

• My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun

• My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground

Explanation:

In this sonnet, the speaker tells us of how his lover is not very attractive but that he loves her more than anything that is more attractive than her.

He talks about how her lips are not very red and how they are far from coral. He says her eyes are not like the sun which means that she doesn't have beautiful eyes.

Finally in a reference to how beautiful people walk as though they float, he talks about how his lover does not have this quality but instead walks on the ground.

Explain how Squealer's description in the 2nd paragraph, "Squealer was so fat that he could with difficulty see out of his eyes"

jekas [21]

Answer:

In literature, when the author uses exaggeration/oversimplification of certain character traits, it is referred to as a caricature. Often insulting, caricatures can also be complimentary or even have a political purpose.

In George Orwell's political allegory, <em>Animal farm</em>, Squealer is one of the three most important animals who rebel against their human farmer. Squealer comes as a clever character with good persuasion techniques. He is, however, quite selfish and power-hungry (like most of the leaders). The very fact that he is described as having a difficulty with seeing "out of his eyes" speaks volumes about both his physical appearance and personality. He is a very fat pig, indeed, but he also only cares about his own interests.
