Girard calls writing a revenge tragedy a tedious chore because
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Because it takes a long time for the predictable outcome to occur

Explanation:

This is a line from melo-drama called "Hamlet Dull Revenge" authored by Rene Girard.

The play examines the character called Hamlet who despite wanting to avenge his father, who was unjustly killed by Claudius, took his time to investigate the circumstances involved instead of engaging his mindless and wanton killings because of his desire for vengeance.

The author Girard, concludes that Hamlets tact is delaying vengeance is not a sign of weakness as vengeance is often a response to violence or injury to a loved person.

In at least 100 words, compare two sub-categories of American Romantic literature. Use details from the passages to support your
pickupchik [31]

Romanticism in America was a movement that arose slowly, developed in many ways. It went through many phases and it was practiced by many writers that when we give a simple definition we tend to be "slippery". It started approximately in 1820 and lasted until about 1865 with the end of the civil war and the beginning of realism. The romanticism arose as new settlers were confronted with the new realities of a new life in a land that was vast and completely different. The ideas that marked romantism were humanitarianism, democracy, equality, abolition, utopian ideals, the noble savage , dignity of common man , primitivism , the nature of  good or evil, conflict between spirit and body , mysticism, pantheism, transcendentalism , gothicism , abnormal psychology, exotic settings--time and place, nature as symbol of Divine , faith vs, doubt , organic unity, individual soul as as part of the greater soul of God , great chain of being , Individualism . There were many sub categories and many genres but in a nutshell I would say that two writers are very representative of  this period Edgar Allan Poe who wrote mainly about fiction. His narrations and poetry were so vivid and terrifying as you can see in this quote of the the raven: " And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting  on the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;   And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming,   And the lamp-light o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;  And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor    Shall be lifted—nevermore! "

Another great writer of this period was Harriet Beecher Stowe who wrote the fiction novel Uncle Tom's Cabin. The importance of this novel is related to the feelings that generated in all the corners of the new nation. When uncles' Tom is described as a good, steady, sensible, pious fellow, I am pretty sure there were many self made men in America that identified with him.
