The author is using a type of figurative language called personification. Personification is when you give human characteristics or traits to something that is non human. When the author writes, "<span>the sea licked greedy lips in the shadows." the author is giving the sea human characteristics. The sea does not actually have lips.</span>

What is the purpose of an antagoinist in a story. Please help if you can! <br> ~Real
zhenek [66]

The purpose of an antagonist in the story is to hinder the main character(s) from achieving their goal. The antagonist does not always have to be the main villain, but just has evil intentions to the main characters. A perfect example of this (in my opinion) would be Boba Fett from<em> The Empire Strikes Back</em>, he was not the main villain, but was hired by the main villain of the original trilogy to stop the main group from achieving their goals, and did have evil intentions towards them.

How does jane's desire to see the good in everyone differ from elizabeth's judgments?
kirza4 [7]
Jane is a prototype of a sweet, innocent, romantic girl who waits for her prince to come and take her into the sunset. In a way, this is what a girl was supposed to be in the harsh Victorian society. She should exhibit a sweet, angelic nature. On the other hand, Elizabeth is a strong willed individual, who has her own persuasions - or at least aspires to them. She is not a passive observer, but tries to build her own life. Being a complicated person herself, she doesn't readily trust what people say or do. That's why she eventually falls in love with Mr. Darcy, even though he has been repulsive from the very beginning of the novel. But even though in love, she isn't blind; she realizes that they are compatible souls, and that is the main reason she marries him.
