Answer:

It shows Faustus when he is at the height of his powers.

Explanation:

"Doctor Faustus" by Christopher Marlowe is an Elizabethan tragedy that shows Faustus selling his soul to Lucifer. He wants it in exchange for the service of Mephistophilis and the knowledge of the whole universe to be given to him. The main character Faustus embodies the greed of man in trying to attain things way beyond his capacity. The above provided excerpt is from the speech of the Chorus in Act 2 Scene III. They began to talk about his achievement and the powers he had got from the contract. This shows Faustus at the peak of his powers, with the whole knowledge of the universe in his hand.

Evaluate: Dexter becomes engaged to Irene but then returns to Judy? Do you think he
STatiana [176]

Answer and Explanation:

This question is about the short story "Winter Dreams", by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The main character is Dexter, an ambitious young man who has an obsession for Judy. Judy is wealthy and beautiful, but spoiled and vain. She is used to having everything she wants in life given to her easily, including men. She and Dexter hang out for some time, but Judy has other things to do, other men to meet. Dexter then begins to date Irene, and they even get engaged. However, once Judy reappears, Dexter goes back to her.

Dexter becomes engaged to Irene by then returns to Judy. Do you think he knew their engagement would not last? What clues does the text provide?

<u>Dexter most likely did not think his engagement to Irene would not last. He likes her, even though she does not fascinate him like Judy does. Dexter admires Irene, and at a certain point he even imagines the both of them having children and growing old together.</u>

Some clues provided in the short story are:

"Irene was light-haired and sweet and honorable..."

"He knew that Irene would be no more than a curtain spread behind him, a hand moving among gleaming tea-cups, a voice calling to children . . . fire and loveliness were gone, the magic of nights and the wonder of the varying hours and seasons . . . slender lips, down-turning , dropping to hi slips and bearing him up into a heaven of eyes . . . "
