What is the effect of the following description from chapter one: The windows were ajar and gleaming white against the fresh gra

ss outside that seemed to grow a little way into the house. A breeze blew through the room, blew curtains in at one end and out the other like pale flags, twisting them up toward the frosted wedding-cake of the ceiling, and then rippled over the wine-colored rug, making a shadow on it as wind does on the sea.

Answer:

- Engross the readers in the narrative and pose the lighthearted tone by using descriptive diction and expressive imagery.

Explanation:

As per the question, the effect or impact that Fitzgerald wishes to create through the given description is to engulf the readers in the plot of the story and establish the tone that would provide the readers with a specific perspective to view the text and feel about it.

He employs descriptive words like (frosted wedding-cake, wine..colored rug) along with the vivid imagery (like pale flags, gleaming white..fresh grass') that assists the readers to visualize and experience themselves being present in the room and connect to it effectively. Along with that, he combines the natural with the artificial reflected through the invoking images of breeze('blew through the room') and grass('seemed to grow'). The flowy composition of sentences and the words like 'fresh and rippled' connotes a cheery and blithe tone.

8. What is Hamlet's attitude towards women? *
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

A He doesn't trust them

Explanation:

<u>Hamlet has a distrust towards women, as well as certain prejudices. </u>He states “Frailty, thy name is women!” which is connected to low morals and weakness.

<u>His distrust quite likely comes from the fact that he learns he can’t trust his mother, the woman who is closest to him in his life. </u>This comes from the fact she has played a role in his father’s murder. He starts feeling dislike towards her, but also towards all the women.

We can see that in his treatment of Ophelia – while he claims his love to her, he also says very harsh words to her later on. <u>He says she presents herself as two-faced, doesn't believe she really is pure, and dismisses her. </u>

Hamlet also states he “will have no more marriages”, underlying he is done with his connection to all women, which also reflects his lack of faith and wariness in females.
