Well, the first reason is that back then, in Dante's time, "comedy" didn't really mean funny. In this case, it meant that even though the whole story/poem is full of despair and torture and torment, it actually ends  with a happy ending. Back in Dante's era, this meant that instead of being a tragedy, this epic poem was considered a comedy. 
Consider Shakespeare's work Romeo and Juliet. It ends with the two young lovers dying, right? That is a tragedy. There is no happiness there. But at the end of Inferno, Dante the Pilgrim actually succeeds in his goals.  <span />

Answer:

The reason behind this imagery being more powerful is that it provides an emphasis in the form of subjective description, interpretation, and comparison to express an idea.

Explanation:

Imagery is a stylistic device to develop a description based on personal perception using objects of reference to represent the one the author talks about to make an emphasis on its appearance. It is a very good instrument to profound in the description because it allows us to establish comparisons, taking as reference objects and events that are not connected to the initial idea.

Choose the best answer. Make sure you read the question and all of the choices before selecting and answer. Review the conflict
nata0808 [166]

Option number 1 analyzes the conflict developed on the plot. It builds suspense about whether or not Theseus will succeed.

Theseus was the son of <em>Aegeus</em> and volunteered to go to <em>Crete Island</em> to kill the infamous Minotaur, a half man, half bull. The suspense created during the trip makes the reader think about the future of Theseus and Athens.

Once inside the labyrinth, Theseus has a savage fight and defeated the Minotaur ripping one of its horns and stuck it into the Minotaur's neck.

The story of Minos, the island of Crete and the Minotaur is an important part of the Greek Mythology that has influenced the culture of that European region.
