Answer:
This aspect of ancient Greek culture is symbolized in the passage in the following way:
A. The Sirens appear enchanting, but they are lethal.
Explanation:
Ulysses, the Sirens, and Circe are all characters in the famous epic poem "The Odyssey" by Greek poet Homer. Ulysses, also called Odysseus, takes several years to finally go back home after the Trojan War. During his journey, he runs into monsters, witches, and enchanted creatures.
The Sirens are what we usually call mermaids. They are used in the passage as a symbol to represent the two different aspects of the sea: its beauty and its deadliness. The Sirens at first appear enchanting. They are beautiful and sing a most appealing song. However, they are lethal. Their song seems to hypnotize men and lure them to their death by drowning. The same can be said of the sea. It lures people with its immensity and beauty, but it also kills them.
We know that Rainsford chose, but we can assume that he spent his three days being hunted wondering both how he was going to stay alive himself and how he was going to kill Zaroff to stay alive. He was hunted and could feel the fear of pain and the fear of death, though he once scoffed at Whitney for believing this. having to change your mind about something especially something you were so certain about is yet another kind of internal conflict all of Rainsford`s internal conflicts are caused by the one external conflict Which is being hunted by the madman General Zaroff.
