How is babylon similar to the Place of the Gods where John travels

2 answers:

7 0

In "By the waters of Babylon", the Place of Gods is actually New York City destroyed by a nuclear war. John and his people don't know this, that it was a city constructed by men and not gods, because a great deal of knowledge of the doomed civilization was lost. He realizes this through an epiphany.

The Place of Gods is similar to Babylon in the way that the latter one used to be the superpower of her day but this didn't save her from decline. New York City represents the superpower of today, the United States, but this doesn't mean they won't decline, such as every empire before.

When John enters the Place of the Gods, he starts to assimilate that all that he was told about the Place of the Gods is not true at all. The Place of the Gods he visits can be seen as a post-apocaliptic version of the city of New York; because of that, the author is placing the reader in a possible future of ourselves. The portrait of New York as a post-apocaliptic city that we must encourage to build again (by the words of John) can be related to the fall of the city (kingdom) of Babylon in the ancient Mesopotamia.

List at least THREE ways Macduff and Macbeth are the same. List at least THREE ways they are opposites. Explain your reasoning.

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

<u>Maduff and Macbeth</u>

<u>Similarities</u>

1. They are both vengeful.

Macbeth plots revenge for Macduff because he refuses to be loyal to him, and in the process, he murders his family.

Macduff after he learns of the brutal murder of his family, begins to plot his revenge against Macbeth.

2. They both have tunnel vision.

Macbeth is so singularly focused on becoming King that nothing else matters, he is blinded by the truth and believes the witches' prophecy implicitly.

Macduff is so blinded by his rage and quest for revenge against Macbeth that he is blinded to so many dangers.

3. They are both Lords of Scotland

Macduff and Macbeth are both Lords of Scotland. Macbeth is the honorable Thane of Glamis, Macduff is also a Thane of Fife.

<u>Differences</u>

1. Macduff is a loyal and honorable man, Macbeth is not.

Macduff is said to be a noble man that is loyal to Duncan and refuses to believe Macbeth's claim that Duncan was murdered by his servants.

Macbeth is no noble man and loyal to nobody unless he stands to gain something from it. He is also portrayed as power hungry and brutal

2. Macduff put his country and people first, Macbeth put himself and his interests first.

Macduff is described as a virtuous and honorable man who always puts his country and people first in whatever decision he wanted to take. He was a people pleaser.

Macbeth wanted to be wealthy and powerful and would do anything to get it, including murder. He always thought of himself first.

3. Macbeth was impatient, Macduff was not

In Macbeth's mad quest for power, he was very impatient and because of this he did not think things through before doing them. His impatience showed when he put a lot of faith in the prophecy of the witches and was desperate to be king.

Macduff by contrast was very patient and bade his time while plotting how to stop Macbeth from being King and also taking revenge.
