Answer:

B. Past.

Explanation:

The poem "Thanatopsis" by William Cullen Bryant is a poem that deals with the approach of human about the issue of death. It presents the different and quite unusual way of viewing death and the meaning of death.

When the poet says <em>"Thou shalt lie down / With patriarchs of the infant world"</em>, he meant to imply that when one dies, he will be united with the ones who are already gone before him. "<em>Sleeping"</em> with the "<em>patriarchs</em>", "<em>the powerful of the earth- the wise, the good, Fair forms, and hoary seers of ages past</em>". These past personalities will be one's companions in the afterlife, becoming one in nature.

This meditative poem brings us back to the theme of man being one with nature and the mortality of man which will unite him with the nature world. Thus, the word "<em>infant</em>' in the poem will suggest the past.

Why did Elizabeth proctor feel unworthy of Johns love
kumpel [21]

Answer:

Elizabeth felt unworthy of her husband's love because she felt that she wasn't enough of a wife to the good John Proctor.

Explanation:

Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible" revolves around the Salem witch trials that happened in the late 17th century. The play was set alongside the trails that saw many innocent people wrongly convicted and hanged for practicing witchcraft.

In the play, Elizabeth Proctor was also one of the women accused of practicing it. when asked to testify to her husband's claims of his own affairs with their former helper Abigail, Elizabeth refused to reveal the truth of the affair. In her opinion, she only thought that her husband deviated from her because of her sickness, which led to her turning Abigail away from their home. She stated <em>"My husband is a good and righteous man. He is never drunk as some are, nor wastin' his time at the shovelboard, but always at his work."</em> And in doing so, she justified whatever Proctor had done and only blamed herself for the way her husband acted.

She 'reveres' her husband and would only accept his goodness and not the bad things he had done, claiming <em>"John, I counted myself so plain, so poorly made, no honest love could come to me! Suspicion kissed you when I did; I never knew how I should say my love. It were a cold house I kept!"</em>
