The trickster- Morgan Le Faye

The temptress- Bertilak's wife

The hero - Sir Gawain

The hospitable host - Bertilak

Medieval ( chivalric ) romances were popular in aristocratic circles in Medieval Europe. They were characterized by marvel-filled adventures and a hero-like character that goes on a quest for love and fairness. There was also a villain which was seen as threat to the happiness of the hero.

The hero is usually a knight abiding the code of honor. He is brave and selfless, very loyal to his lord and he fights with his life for the woman he loves.

The woman ( the temptress ) is often idealized by the hero and put on the pedestal. There is usually a couple of men fighting for her love. She holds a certain amount of power over them.

The trickster is the villain that is after the hero's woman and his title and possession. There is usually a battle/fight in the novel where both characters fight against one another and the hero wins. The trickster is clever and ruthless using unlawful methods to achieve his goals.

The hospitable host is usually a friend of the hero who supports him.

Based on “Romeo and Juliet: A Tragedy? Or Just a Tragic Misunderstanding?” (page 360 - 361)

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Tragedy

Explanation:

Romeo and Juliet fall into the category of tragedy this is because due to misfortune events that happened led to both dying by the end of the play. And anyways Shakespeare has 3 genres of players comedy, history and tragedy. There are many reasons why it is a tragedy. The tragic ending of the story could be avoided if people reacted to others appropriately and thoughtfully. If the Montague and the Capulet were not enemies, the incidents, banishment of Romeo and deaths of five young people can be prevented.

In the context of this excerpt, how does power corrupt? Use evidence from this text, your own experience, and other art or liter

Soloha48 [4]

The correct answer is the following.

Although there is no excerpt attached or another kind of reference, we can say that the question refers to the story of Frankenstein, written by English writer Mary Shelley in 1818.

In this story, power corrupts in that the monster tries to create revenge against Victor. The monster or the creature knows that it was created in such a way by Victor that it won't be able to fit into society. The creature can't control its hunger for killing people who are close to Victor.

That is why, when today people can control their actions it is said that "they cannot control the monster inside."
