Answer:
The expected outcome of the scene was that the rioters would meet a monstrous being "Death" but instead, they found gold.
Explanation:
Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales" is a collection of stories told by the traveling pilgrims to Canterbury. One of them was a pardoner who tells the story of the three rioters and their greed.
In "<em>The Pardoner's Tale</em>", three rioters who had done nothing except revel and drink and enjoy were told by one of their servants that his relative had been killed by Death. In drunken anger, they went in search of this person. On the way, they met an old man who told them he's been waiting for Death, and he's just left him under an oak tree. When they reached there, they found no one but instead found eight bushels of gold coins. This is ironic as the expected result will either be a beast or anything that will personify death but instead gold greeted them. Also, it is ironic as this discovery will lead to their deaths later on.
Answer: D. from hopeless to thankful
Explanation:
The mood of the first quatrain to the final couplet of this poem is going from hopeless to thankful. At first, William Shakespeare is telling the readers about love and marriage that seemed hopeless to him because he is considering love both beautiful, mysterious, and more but those mixed up feelings made his thoughts inspirational for his work. Because of that, he is thankful.
William Shakespeare on love: “Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, and therefore is wing'd cupid painted blind.”
Answer:
I do not believe Odysseus was a hero that everyone seemed to think he was because, when he battled a monster he had to get the credit for it. If he was a real hero, he would not put himself and his fame first. Odysseus was known to think himself out of situations, but would always jeopardize his men for his well being. Odysseus does, however, have some tragic flaws. His blinding of the Cyclops, for example, is what angers Poseidon and makes Odysseus's journey home take so long. He has moments of anger and pique that cause him to take rash actions, and, in these moments, he is not an ideal hero but a very human character.
