ANSWER: The two lines that shows that Emperor Nero was ruthless are:
1. “Bring him to me here this instant,” said he, “and let Marcus with his knife and branding-iron be in attendance.”
and
2. "I have half a mind to burn their town about their ears so that they may remember my visit."
These were the two lines from the excerpt which states the ruthlessness of Emperor Nero. He wanted to kill the man because he became more popular than him amongst the common people. Emperor Nero could not bear this popularity which is why he wanted to burn the village down to make his presence remembered.
Point of view is essentially who is telling the story, such as first, third, and so on.
How identity can be developed is how you see yourself and what you think of yourself.
Thomas Malory’s depiction of Merlin in Le Morte d’Arthur was that of a cold, distinguished sage, providing counsel to Arthur that, at times, appears morally difficult to follow. An example was in his counselling Arthur to send away newborn baby boys adrift at sea to risk perishing.T. H. White’s depiction of Merlyn in The One and Future King shows him as a bumbling wise man who lives backwards through time and eventually becomes younger. This opened the character to have more human traits, making him more relatable to readers.
