Shakespeare builds tension in the play by having the witches mysteriously appear and dissapear. Through dramatic irony he is giving the audience more information about the witches then the characters. They are thinking whether to trust the witches or not, but we already know that they shouldn’t.

Answer:

The witches in Shakespeare's "Macbeth" create tension by making predictions about the future, which keeps the audience interested. Besides, they represent the supernatural world, since people in those times believed in curses and witches. Thus, they have the power to appear and disappear, as well as to look real, although they are not. Finally, they speculate with the Macbeth and the audience's dismay, as they are as dark, fearful and horrible as the protagonist's soul.

One way to interpret the gods in Greek myths is to see them as personifications of forces in nature like the sea or lighting,or
Monica [59]

The approach that Baldwin suggests is that of seeing the gods not as personifications of natural elements, but as gods themselves. Baldwin believes this approach to be more charming and fairer to the stories.

The main reason why Baldwin argues this is that he believes this is what the Greek people intended when telling the stories. By arguing the opposite, we are putting our own ideologies and points of view on them, instead of appreciating things as they described them. We also attempt to give the myths a useful and practical meaning (which he describes as utilitarian) instead of appreciating the spiritual and aesthetic elements of the story.

timofeeve [1]

Answer: B

Explanation:

"icy" when describing a person's attitude or personality means cold, rude, etc, but a smile is usually happy and warm.

Personally I don't think it's an oxymoron- it's definitely possible to do a rude, fake smile. But B is what an oxymoron is- two words that are opposite in meaning and shouldn't technically be used together- like "awfully good" or "bittersweet."
