But stay, O spite! But mark, poor knight, What dreadful dole is here! Eyes, do you see? How can it be? O dainty duck! O dear! Thy mantle good, What, stain’d with blood! Approach, ye Furies fell! O Fates, come, come, Cut thread and thrum; Qual, crush, conclude, and quell!

Answer:

Shakespeare's references to the moon show the passage of time, while Ovid uses the moon to symbolize the lovers’ feelings for each other.

Explanation:

This is the statement that best describes how each author employs the idea of the moon in their text. Shakespeare employs the idea of the moon in order to convey the passage of time. The moon in this case represents the night and the hours that pass. In the case of Ovid, the moon symbolizes the lovers' feelings for each other, as Pyramus asks the moon to take notice of Thisbe.

Who are the different people involved in the scenario? What dilemma or challenge are they facing in the story missing out?
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

The trolley problem is a series of thought experiments in ethics and psychology, involving stylized ethical dilemmas of whether to sacrifice one person to save a larger number. Opinions on the ethics of each scenario turn out to be sensitive to details of the story that may seem immaterial to the abstract dilemma. The question of formulating a general principle that can account for the differing moral intuitions in the different variants of the story was dubbed the "trolley problem" in a 1976 philosophy paper by Judith Jarvis Thomson.
