Answer:
c. References specific plot points
Explanation:
Although Romeo and J * really show that we must follow our hearts, this is not the theme of the story narrative created by Shakespeare, but a specific point in the plot of that story.
The theme of a work does not refer to a specific point on the plot, but rather the general message that the narrative covers.
In Romeu and J * the theme would be the violence caused by love and the struggle of individuals to get rid of the past of their families. Within these themes, the romance between the two young people and their willingness to follow their hearts do not cover all the complexity and nuances of the work and therefore cannot be considered the theme.
Answer:
Yes, "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" is an example of realism, even though Bierce employs romantic techniques in the story.
Explanation:
<u>Romanticism had among its characteristics the glorification of war and heroism. At first, that seems to be what Ambrose Bierce will do in his short story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge".</u> The main character, Peyton Farquhar, is tricked into trying to burn a bridge that would allow Union soldiers to cross. Farquhar is a Confederacy supporter. He ends up being caught as a traitor and, when he is about to be hanged, he escapes. So far, Romanticism has prevailed.
<u>However, Bierce is only deceiving readers.</u> We are led to believe Farquhar has escaped, that the noose broke, and he found himself swimming in the creek, dodging bullets, free to return home. <u>We are soon disappointed</u>, however, as it is revealed that it was all his imagination - or even a hallucination - in the brief moments it took Farquhar to die. <u>The ending of the story is based on Realism. Far from being romanticized, it describes how horrid and gruesome death and war are, and how heroism is not always rewarded:</u>
<u><em>Peyton Farquhar was dead; his body, with a broken neck, swung gently from side to side beneath the timbers of the Owl Creek bridge.</em></u>
