This question is related to the short story "The Open Window"

Answer:

Vera is a country girl, but instead of showing country and naive traits, Vera shows herself to be a very polite, controlled and centered girl. This can be seen right when she meets Mr. Frampton Nuttel, at the beginning of the story. However, despite these positive qualities, in the course of the plot, Vera shows herself to be an astute, malicious and very intelligent girl.

Vera is not really a villain, but she is quite manipulative and manages to hit Mr. Frampton Nuttel squarely with his subterfuge. We can understand that she does this to have a distraction from the monotonous life of the countryside and to rule her control and intelligence in someone weaker.

Look back at the soliloquy at the beginning of this act and list at least 2 reasons Brutus gives for killing Caesar.
krok68 [10]

Answer: 1. Brutus thinks power will change Caesar. 2. He thinks that the people of Rome desire to finish him as well because of a letter that he receives.

Explanation: Brutus claims not to have any reason to finish Caesar off. However, he discreetly implies "reasonable" facts that would make it a good idea. He presumes that, although Caesar hasn't portrayed ambitious behaviors, power could corrupt his mind. Furthermore, due to a letter he receives in which he is accused of sleeping in Rome's reign, he assumes that the people from Rome wants Caesar's life to end as well.
