Ophocles intertwines the themes of death and marriage in Antigone. Which lines in this excerpt from the play best bring out the

correlation of death and marriage?
ANTIGONE:
Friends, countrymen, my last farewell I make;
My journey's done.
One last fond, lingering, longing look I take
At the bright sun.
For Death who puts to sleep both young and old
Hales my young life,
And beckons me to Acheron's dark fold,
An unwed wife.
No maids have strewn with flowers from the lea,
'Tis Death I wed.

Answer:

<em>No maids have strewn with flowers from the lea,</em>

<em>'Tis Death I wed.</em>

Explanation:

In the play <em>Antigone</em>, Ophocles presents several themes that were relevant to the daily life of Greek people. Two of the themes that he presents are those of death and marriage. We learn that Antigone claims she is going to death an "unwed wife." She also tells us that she is marrying Death (<em>'Tis Death I wed</em>). These lines show how death and marriage are intertwined.

Read the quoted lines from the play that follow. What literary device does Shakespeare use to develop Helena's character?
agasfer [191]
<span>B. Metaphor

A metaphor is a comparison of two things without using like or as. In these lines, Helena is being compared to a spaniel. She is saying that no matter how poorly she is treated by Demetrius, she is devoted to him. 
Imagery is a vivid description that appeals to the senses. Onomatopoeia is a word that sounds like its meaning. Boom, crack, hush all are onomatopoeias.
Personification is giving non-human things human-like traits. The tree branches waved in the wind is one example. </span>

why do you think certain countries favored military solutions to the great depression while other countries did not
hoa [83]

Germany and Japan favored military solutions more than the United States did. I think the militaristic nations felt they had more to prove on the world stage. For Germans, rearmament became a point of national pride. For the Japanese, imperialism played a similar role. By contrast, Americans entered World War I reluctantly, and they remained reluctant to enter World War II until the bombing of Pearl Harbor left them with few alternatives.
