Even though “Ethan
Frome”, novel by Edith Wharton, was written over a hundred year ago, it is
still widely read today because the theme of the story is world-wide and
all-time relevant. This universality of the theme, representing the society and
morality as an obstacle to fulfill desires (in this case love), makes “Ethan
Frome” relevant a hundred years after and it would probably still be relevant
in future, as it’s close to every human’s heart.
Both “Romeo and Juliet”
by William Shakespeare and “Ethan Frome” by Edith Wharton deal with the problem
of society and morality as an obstacle to fulfill certain desires, which is in
both cases forbidden love. Considering the theme, both “Romeo and Juliet” and “Ethan
Frome” have the same tragic tone, but the ends show how different and twisted destiny
can be.
<span>The love story of Ethan
Frome and Mattie is still relevant today, after a hundred years, and probably
will stay relevant in future as the theme of the story is on universal level of
human struggle with feelings, social norms and morality. </span>
Answer:
Cleopatra.
Explanation:
The quote "<em>Cleopatra's nose, had it been shorter, the whole face of the world would have been changed</em>" was said by the famous French mathematician Blaise Pascal. It was part of the posthumously edited writings of Pascal in 1669 titled "Pensees/ Thoughts".
According to the belief of ancient times and also the seventeenth century belief, a person's physiognomy plays an important role in determining the character of that person. A large nose, like that of Cleopatra's, signify the dominance and strength of the person. If not for her, then there wouldn't have been the fall of Caesar or Antony, the great men of Rome. This would have stopped them from falling under her spell, thus averting the many wars and conflicts that changed the history of the world.

Answer:
The main character of <em>Hamlet</em>, Shakespeare's famous tragedy, is Prince Hamlet. At the beginning of the play, Hamlet has just lost his father and is still mourning. His mother, Gertrude, and his uncle, Claudius, however, got married soon after his death. Claudius, as it turns out soon, has plotted against his brother in order to inherit the throne. But he was not satisfied with his position as a king - he wanted Gertrude to become his wife, as well. This makes him a rather greedy and deceitful character. Hamlet's mother, Gertrude, is a rather shallow woman, who cares more about her status than about her husband. Both her and Claudius want Hamlet to stop mourning - they want to focus on happiness about their marriage. Hamlet, at first hurt and shocked by the fact that his uncle murdered his father, devises a plan to revenge his father. He decides that he will act as a crazy person.
