Write a paragraph about your opinion of "the outsider" by H.P. Lovecraft​

English

snow_tiger [21]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The Outsider" is written in a first-person narrative style, and details the miserable and apparently lonely life of an individual, who appears to have never made contact with another individual. The story begins, with the narrator explaining his origins. His memory of others is vague, and he cannot seem to recall any details of his personal history, including who he is or where he is originally from. The narrator tells of his environment: a dark, decaying castle amid an "endless forest" of high trees that block out the light from the sun. He has never seen natural light, nor another human being, and he has never ventured from the prison-like home he now inhabits. The only knowledge the narrator has of the outside world, is from his reading of the "antique books" that line the walls of his castle.

The narrator tells of his eventual determination to free himself, from what he views as an existence within a prison. He decides to climb the ruined staircase of the high castle tower which seems to be his only hope for an escape. At the place where the stairs terminate into crumbled ruins, the narrator begins a long, slow climb up the tower wall, until he eventually finds a trapdoor in the ceiling, which he pushes up and climbs through. Amazingly, he finds himself not at the great height he anticipated, but at ground level in another world. With the sight of the full moon before him, he proclaims, "There came to me the purest ecstasy I have ever known." Overcome with the emotion he feels in beholding what—until now—he had only read about, the narrator takes in his new surroundings. He realizes that he is in an old churchyard, and he wanders out into the countryside before eventually coming upon another castle.

Hope this helps! Brainliest please.

Why is Macbeth's demand on the doctor ironic in act 5 scene 3?
vazorg [7]

Answer: Because Lady Macbeth is not sick, she is feeling guilty because of the murders she and Macbeth committed. The doctor can do nothing about it.

Explanation:

Upon hearing the Three witches' prophecy that he would become a king, Macbeth and his wife devise a plan to make it happen. Macbeth murders king Duncan and Banquo, which makes him haunted by guilt. He does become a king, but his life is far different from what he hoped for. Even Lady Macbeth, who had the initiative at the beginning of the play and convinced Macbeth to 'do the deed', gradually becomes weak and frightened. She starts to sleepwalk, see blood on her hands and claims that she will never be able to wash it.

In <em>Act 5, Scene 3</em>, Macbeth demands that the doctor cures her of her delusions. This demand is ironic, in that it is not possible. Lady Macbeth is simply consumed by guilt and is not feeling well because of it. No doctor will ever be able to cure her from her guilt. Macbeth is concerned both because the enemy is getting closer and because of his wife's state of mind, therefore, he cannot accept that his problems are not to be solved over night. He blames the doctor for being unable to help Lady Macbeth, while, in fact, it is only their fault that their plan did not meet their expectations.
