“Who is More Heroic: Odysseus, Penelope or some other character from the Odyssey?” Be sure to cite evidence from the text to sup
Juliette [100K]
In the Odyssey it is very clear that there are a lot of heroic charctors indubitably since the book is an epic. One character stands out as having the most noble and honorable trait that is Penelope she is an honorable and faithful wife who is waiting for odessyous return from the war. A scene in this book that demonstrates this best is when penople making Odessyous burial should while really its trying to prevent a marriage to another man on the island so she can remain true to Odessyous. You may say that she doesn't do much like save lives or slay giant Cyclopes but what makes a hero it's the noble qualities the deeds they do how they stand up for what they know is right therefore I say the must heroic hero is in fact Penelope.

Gelneren [198K]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The best meaning of venerable as it is used in the excerpt from Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Minister's Black Veil," is </em><u><em>respected</em></u><em>. So the right answer would be option B. </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

This short story by Hawthorne draws the picture of Puritan New England. The themes of morality, sin and repentance create the backdrop of this story and move through the entire plot. Mr. Hooper, the main character of the story helps in blending the themes so well from the beginning till the end. He dons a black veil to hide his secret sin and is fearful to look at any one. That is why the reaction of other people towards this venerable man changes. Hawthorne uses this reaction to criticize the Puritan image of original sin. The veil represents the inherent sinful nature of all people.
