Nezavi [6.7K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: In Merchant of Venice, Portia is a beautiful woman and obedient daughter, while Jessica is defiant and unreliable.

Explanation:

<em>The Merchant of Venice</em> is a comedy written by William Shakespeare. The main heroine of the play, Portia, is wealthy, beautiful, and so loyal that even after her father passed away, she respects the lottery protocol for potential suitors that her father set forth in his will. Jessica, on the other hand, disappoints her Jewish father (Shylock) by running away with a Christian (Lorenzo) and stealing his ducats, thus also abandoning her religion.

According to information from the essay which statement best describes how the idea of the monster is created
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Assuming that the essay is the epic poem from around 1000 CE focusing on Beowulf in a third person narrative:

<span>“A man would roar, "I'll steal their gold and burn their meadhall!" shaking his sword as if the tip were afire, and a man with eyes like two pins would say, "Do it now, Cowface! I think you're not even the man your father was!" The people would laugh. I would back away into the darkness, furious at my stupid need to spy on them, and I would glide to the next camp of men, and I'd hear the same.”</span>

What other images and language devices has shakespeare used here to show the conflict between hamlet and gertrude? (act 1 scene
Anna007 [38]
Shakespeare uses a couple techniques to show the conflict between Hamlet and Gertrude in this scene, irony being the one most used.

First, Hamlet speaks in an aside (meaning no one else can hear him) to indicate he's not interested in speaking to his family -- they are "less than kind."

Then, Gertrude comments on Hamlet's clothing, indicating he's mourning too much. She tells him directly to be kind to Claudius. She says people die all the time, and he replies "aye, it is common," an ironic reply. The death of a king is not "common" -- nor is murder.

Then, Hamlet discusses the meaning of the word "seem," implying that people could fake their grief. (He's implying, perhaps, that Gertrude faked her grief.) His grief, however, IS real.

Find the error with subject-verb agreement. Select the incorrect verb and type it correctly.
larisa86 [58]

The error with the subject-verb agreement is "Here is the directions," since the singular verb "is" is incorrect, and the correct verb would be the plural "are".

<h3>What is subject-verb agreement?</h3>

Subject-verb agreement refers to the verb following the person and number of the subject. For example, the subject "I" is first person singular. Therefore, we cannot use "are," second person singular with "I". We must use the verb "am", which is first person singular as well.

That is why the section "Here is the directions" contains an error. The verb "is" is singular, but the subject "directions" is plural. The correct verb to be used is the plural "are".
