What other stories do you know in which a metamorphosis takes place? What caused the change—is it a reward or a punishment?
exis [7]

Answer and Explanation:

A metamorphosis is a change in the shape of someone or something. Some stories have used the concept of metamorphosis to express deeper and more impactful themes in a smoother way. An example of this can be seen in "Alice in Wonderland" where the protagonist, Alice, upon falling into the rabbit hole, undergoes several metamorphoses that change her size successively. This metamorphosis represents the abandonment of childhood and entry into adulthood and can be seen as a curse, since Alice changes so many times that she can no longer know who she is. However, some people see this metamorphosis as a reward, as it allows Alice to have experiences that will create wisdom.

Another metamorphosis can be seen in the book "The Portrait of Dorian Gray" where a portrait modifies its image countless times, presenting a horrible being so full of sins that it is terrifying. This metamorphosis represents a curse, since the portrait is a fruit of the curse thrown at its owner, Dorian Gray.

Read the passage from "On Seeing the Elgin Marbles." My spirit is too weak—mortality Weighs heavily on me like unwilling sleep,
Julli [10]

Answer:

Both passages deal with the same theme of the inevitability of death.

Explanation:

Both of the passages share the same theme of the inevitability of death.  

"On Seeing the Elgin Stone", John Keats asserts the mortality of man and that death is something man or in any case, anyone can avoid. Likewise, William Wordsworth also emphasizes the inevitability of death in his poem "Ode on Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood". Both poets from the same Romantic period describes how things will all meet their end, even things that are believed to be immortal will eventually fade away.
