English

Answer:

Irving used wealth as a motivation for his character Ichabod Crane to get Katrina while Poe's Prince Prospero uses his wealth to try to outsmart/ outrun the plague.

Explanation:

In Washington Irving's "The Legend of the Sleepy Hollow", the protagonist Ichabod Crane lost Katrina Van Tassel to his rival to Brom Van Brunt also known as Brom Bones. While Crane is a lowly schoolmaster from New York, Brom Bones is a respected and an epitome of a well-skilled man who also seem to have great wit. Moreover, Katrina belonged to the wealthy family of the Van Tassels which leaves her quite "unattainable" by easy means. But Crane persisted in his efforts which led to the showdown between the two suitors- Crane and Bones.

In Edgar Allen Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death", Prince Prospero decided to have a masquerade party during the plague. He thinks that because of his wealth, the plague might miss/ skip him as if thinking he's above infection or effect from the plague. He invited hundreds of guests for his party and even reveled while people are still so scared of the plague.

Thus, the two short stories reveal how the characters view their wealth as conditions or symbols of their status and ability. Crane's motivation to get Katrina as his wife will make him richer, with better living conditions while Prospero uses his wealth to try to "outrun" the Red Death.

What literary device is used in Ophelia’s song from the play:
stiks02 [169]

Question 4: simile

The simile in the excerpt is "His beard was as white as snow." A simile is a comparison between two things using like or as. In this simile the color of his beard is compared to the snow. As to the other options, personification is giving a nonhuman thing human-like traits. Everything in the excerpt is human. Allusion is a reference to another literary work. There is no reference. Metaphor is a comparison between two things without using like or as. This uses as so it is a simile and not a metaphor.

Question 5: He plans to pretend that he has gone mad.

When Hamlet talks about "an antic disposition", he means that he is going to change his mood to one of madness. It is important to remember that mad actually means insane or crazy, not angry.

Question 6: Hamlet is saying that his madness changes like the weather, and that he is only mad some of the time.

In this piece of dialogue Hamlet is speaking of his madness like it's the wind. The wind changes directions just like his madness can change. He is trying to tell his friends that his madness is not constant but instead changes.
