Answer:
Woolf's word choices that suggests that Oliver is preoccupied with how others see him is "looked down"
Below is an excerpt:
<em>"...And from the middle window he </em><em>looked down </em><em>upon the glossy roofs of fashionable cars packed in the narrow straits of Piccadilly."</em>
This suggests that he had a sense of how others see him. The same word choices that revealed that he is preoccupied with how others see him is also seen in line 16 of "The Duchess And The Jeweller":
<em> "...and he would </em><em>look down</em><em> at his legs, so shapely in their perfect trousers; at his boots; at his spats. They were all shapely, shining;..."</em>
Explanation:
The question is culled from "The Duchess And The Jeweller" written by Virginia Woolf.
The short story is centered on a jeweller known as Oliver Bacon who is the only developed character. The story has a reflection of the English society as seen during Woolf's time. The jeweller, Oliver is seen as an ambitious and arrogant man. He became one of the high-ups in the society and lived at Piccadilly, the most expensive place in London.
Adeline Virginia Woolf is the author of "The Duchess And The Jeweller". She is an English writer who is considered to have pioneered and led the use of stream of consciousness as a narrative device.
I think the correct answer is: They are both willing to risk their lives.
If we understand the word "willing" as ready to do something, this means they both are ready to risk their lives. We could think that the correct answer is "They are both helpless and weak" but in the first excerpt although he seems weak, he has been able to get food for his family and escape from the gamekeepers, even hitting them with the slingshot.
What they have in common is that although they are concious that their actions can kill them they are determined to do them. In the first excerpt hunting in the woods is forbidden and if someone gets caught doing it he would be "even killed". The kid has no option but to risk his life to get some food: "but my family had to eat one way or another."
The second excerpt refers to a pirate's slave, he has a miserable life and it could get worse. He is determined to scape or die trying, we can see that he has nothing else to loose, "I would rather die than spend another minute on that ship."
