Why do you think Poe named his main character "Prospero"? From short story The Masque of the Red Death

English
1 answer:
Afina-wow [57]3 years ago
7 0
Prince Prospero is portrayed as a wealthy, arrogant, selfish man who believes he can overcome and outlast the deadly plague by locking himself inside of his well-provisioned, magnificent abbey. Prince Prospero symbolizes mankind and its inability to deal with the realities of death. Prospero, like many men, thinks he can avoid death or at least put it off. When the Red Death begins to kill most of the people in Prospero's kingdom, he attempts to use his wealth and possessions to escape the fate of everyman.

Please help me!! Unit 1 lesson 6..Edypt: "the happy man"
dezoksy [38]
In my opinion, the correct answer is <span>B: "He asked himself where it had come from and how; the past provided no explanation, and the future could not justify it." This is the only instance when the main character tries to discover the source or roots of his happiness and infers that it hasn't resulted from any action from the past, nor from anything that might yet happen. The other options present this happiness as something that is almost a burden to him, and that's why they are examples of dark humor.</span>

Read the following sentence:
adoni [48]

The revision which uses hyperbole to modify the original sentence is "Steve has terrible pollen allergies; he sneezes his face off in the spring and fall." (option A)

<h3>What is hyperbole?</h3>

A hyperbole is a figure of speech that uses exaggeration to convey an idea or feeling. Imagine a friend calls you a couple of times, but you don't pick up. Then, he says, "I called you a thousand times! Where were you?" That is a hyperbole.

We can eliminate option B because it uses a simile, and option C because it uses an idiom rather than a hyperbole."Until the cows come home" is used to signify "for a long time." Option D is also incorrect because it uses a personification.

The best option is letter A. It is impossible to sneeze until one's face falls off. This is an exaggeration with the purpose of emphasizing the idea that Steve sneezes a lot because of his allergies.
