Answer:

A.One should not think too much or too little of oneself.

Explanation:

This could be seen in the action taken by Sir Andrew and his friend when being warned to lower their voices. Rather than acknowledged the fact that it is the proper thing to do, they imply mocked and make jest of malvolio.

This later led to him challenging Malvolio to a duel when he (Sir Andrew) thought that his honour has been bruised by the steward, Malvolio.

Yolanda is 24, Zachary is 44, and Andrew is 73. Assume that each successfully completed the psychosocial crisis associated with

sashaice [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Erik Erikson's theory of Psychosocial Development was developed by Erik Erikson and Joan Erikson in the late twentieth century. The theory is divided into eight stages of development of a child till late adulthood. Each stage is divided into two parts that denote the outcome of successful completion or unsuccessfulness in that stage.

So, according to Erikson's theory, the successful completion of the people mentioned above will be Yolanda at the intimacy stage, Zachary at generativity, and Andrew at the wisdom stage.

Intimacy v. Isolation is the sixth stage of the theory. This stage comprises of people aged between 20-40 years. In this stage, adults begin to share themselves intimately with others in loving relationships. If one fails at this stage of development, he/she begin to develop isolation and fear of intimate relationships. But successful completion results in intimacy.

Yolanda is 24 and at the sixth stage of the development. Thus, her successful completion will result in intimacy.

Generativity v. Stagnation is the seventh stage of the theory. This stage consists of people aged between 40-65 years. At this stage, middle aged-adults begin to find the work in which they can contribute to the welfare of the next generation. They begin to contribute towards the welfare of the society which can leave the lasting impact. Successful completion of this stage results in generativity whereas failure leaves them with feelings of stagnation and that they are not able to work towards the contribution; thus leaving them with little connections and little room for self-improvement.

Zachary, who is 44 years old, belongs to the middle aged-adults and the seventh stage of the theory. Thus, according to the theory, his successful completion will lead him to generativity.

Integrity v. Despair is the eighth and last stage of the theory. People who are 65+ till death belongs to this stage. At this stage, old aged adults begin to look back at their life and reflect on whether they succeeded in doing what they wanted or failed. After knowing that they successfully lived their lives leads them to wisdom. This wisdom helps them to sense the completeness in their lives and they feel ready to face death without fear. Failure in living a good life makes them feel despair.

Andrew is 73 years old and belongs to the eight stage of the theory. Thus, his successful completion of this stage will lead him to integrity and wisdom.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

The influence of Greek tragedy as filtered through Seneca can still be seen in modern plays, movies, and literature. Select a pl

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

Let's take one of the most influential and popular novels of the 21st century - George R. R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire". This work is all the more appropriate to showcase the influence of Greek, Senecan and Elizabethan tragedies since the series have been turned into a critically acclaimed TV show.

Explanation:

These epic fantasy novels deal with a noble family, which is one of the prerequisites of all three types of tragedy we are dealing with here. Furthermore, many of the protagonists from the Stark family are the so-called "flawed heroes" - well-intended and principled people who often end up stranded (or dead) because of their terrible mistakes or oversights.

One notable example of a tragic hero is the head of the family, Eddard Stark. He is an honorable man who ends up betrayed and executed because he took part in the dangerous game of thrones yet refused to play by the dirty rules that would help him save his head and family. In a way, he would have his cake and eat it, which is of course impossible. Ultimately, his great pride and self-righteousness border on hubris, leading him to think that his perspective is the only right one.

There is also Arya's complex and elaborate revenge that's been carefully plotted throughout multiple volumes of the work. Having survived all the family turmoil, she embarks on a personal journey that will be anything but your conventional coming-of-age story. She will learn to fight, survive, and kill her enemies with great skill and imagination. Her bloodthirstiness is a true Senecan feature.

On the other hand, there are Bran's prophetic dreams about the Three-Eyed Raven. Through them, he gradually learns who he really is and how he can overcome his physical disability. These dreams are not just about his own predicament though. They also provide him with an insight into the terrible challenge the whole humanity is facing. Of course, these dreams are not using plain language but symbols and metaphors - just like the Delphi oracle in Greek tragedies.
