One way to interpret the gods in Greek myths is to see them as personifications of forces in nature like the sea or lighting,or

of abstract concepts like wisdom or forethought.Yet Baldwin says this kind of reading is "an error"that takes the charm out of those tales and reduces their "precious gold into utilitarian iron". Why might Baldwin believe this?What happens ti characterization or other literary elements in the story if we read the gods as personification instead of literally

The approach that Baldwin suggests is that of seeing the gods not as personifications of natural elements, but as gods themselves. Baldwin believes this approach to be more charming and fairer to the stories.

The main reason why Baldwin argues this is that he believes this is what the Greek people intended when telling the stories. By arguing the opposite, we are putting our own ideologies and points of view on them, instead of appreciating things as they described them. We also attempt to give the myths a useful and practical meaning (which he describes as utilitarian) instead of appreciating the spiritual and aesthetic elements of the story.

No site shows the answer any help?
prohojiy [21]
I believe the answer is A) he is so upset that he loses his last hold on sanity and forces his men into a battle with Malcolm that they cannot win.
He is very sad that Lady Macbeth dies, and says he wishes she had died at a time when he could properly mourn her. 
When he leads his men into battle, he says, "The queen, my lord, is dead,"
Hope this helps! Please let me know if I'm wrong :)

In what way do rivers symbolize people in "The Negro Speaks of Rivers"?
Irina18 [472]
I'd say the answer is A) like rivers, people keep moving and finding new paths.
He wants to say that even black people will manage to find a good future, following a new path, the same way any other human being will.
The other examples do not seem correct to me.
