Answer:

- A metaphor is used to paint a picture of responsibility.

Explanation:

As per the question, the figurative language employed in these sentences is best reflected through the statement 'A metaphor is used to paint a picture of responsibility.' <u>Metaphor is employed to establish an implicit comparison between the character('Ernesto') and the 'man of the family' to explain the idea of responsibility more effectively to the audience</u>. It would make the readers' understand that Ernesto displays the similar characteristics as that of a 'man of the family.' Thus, it persuades the readers by clarifying the author's point constructively.

PolarNik [594]
It looks like you answered your own question, but they also change the theme of the story from one of abandonment, control, and approval/validation.

Frankenstein creates his monster after his mother dies, leaving him feeling abandoned.

His creation is an attempt to give life without the need for a woman (controlling life).

The monster spends much of the story seeking validation from his creator, who wants nothing to do with him. In some sense, this parallels Victor's inability to cope with his mother's loss, except that Victor is still very much alive. I'm sure many people view this as a religious allegory (God abandoning humans). 

I don't recall catching any of that in the movies. Instead, they turn it into the typical battle against the unknown/unfamiliar. The monster is not understood, and is grotesque looking, so the people want it gone. Of course, none of the pitchforks and torches are ever carried in the novel. 

Of course, there's also the issue of Frankenstein's presentation on screen. In the book, he's clearly described as being yellow; yet, in most of the movies, he's green. Oh, and Frankenstein never yells "it's alive!"

"Editha" by William Dean Howells is a story about characters who ritualistically follow the popular beliefs and norms of society
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

It was very low inside the house, and so dim, with the closed blinds, that they could scarcely see one another;

Her father standing decorously apart with his hat on his forearm, as at funerals; a woman rested in a deep arm-chair, and the woman who had let the strangers in stood behind the chair.

<em>Editha</em>, by William Dean Howells, is an antiwar story published in 1905. Its characters are people who greatly value custom and ritual, even when it is objectively inconvenient or awkward for them to do so.

The two chosen lines exemplify that character trait. In the first sentence, the house has the blinds closed, as was common for houses where the family had recently experienced a loss or a tragedy. This rule is followed, even though it meant that the characters were barely able to see each other.

The second sentence has a similar example, as Edith's father stands at a distance and with his hat in his hands. We are told this is the way it is done at funerals, which is consistent with the previous sentence and with the character's personality traits.
