Slaves were not allowed to read because they would find new information, read signs that may be directions if they wanted to try and escape, and slaves could eventually arrive to another state to flee from their captors and able to know if they made it to safety. Don't forget that slaves would be capable of many things and become very smart, which would be dangerous to plantation owners.

In the moment right before Sebastian’s entrance in act V, scene I, Viola is surrounded by people who incorrectly think they know
mixer [17]
<span>Act V, scene I, is a moment of utter chaos. Some of the characters surrounding Viola think she is Sebastian, while others think she is Cesario. This case of mistaken identity sets in motion a series of complex situations. Viola is bewildered by other people’s reactions to her. Antonio mistakes Viola/Cesario for Sebastian and accuses her of stealing his money. Olivia thinks Viola/Cesario is tricking her by feigning ignorance about their marriage. She calls in the priest to testify, and Viola/Cesario earns the wrath of Orsino for allegedly breaking his trust. Sir Andrew wrongly thinks Viola/Cesario was in the duel that injured him, and he accuses her of attacking him. These complications all stem from Viola’s disguise. However, just as matters seem to be getting out of hand, Sebastian enters, and the problems are resolved.</span>

PLEASE HURRYY How was Don Quixote different from the literature before it? How did it signal a change in the history of literatu
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

It was realistic in contrast to fantastic and marvelous chivalric romances. The narrative romances before Don Quixote gave no importance to character's inner thoughts, while Don Quixote also presents insights into character's psychology.

Explanation:

The most significant element differentiating Don Quixote from literature before it is its form, content and treatment of subject. Literature before Don Quixote was mostly chivalric romance full of marvels and fantasies. Even if some of the literature before Don Quixote was realistic, it was in verse (Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales). In contrast Don Quixote was the first major realistic literature written in prose (later to be called novel).

The chivalric romance before Don Quixote featured disconnected stories of the same characters with little or no insight into character’s inner thoughts or psychology, while Don Quixote started the tradition of focusing more on character’s complex inner thoughts narrated in series on connected episodes.

Most of the literature before Don Quixote had main characters that were ideals without any flaws, but Don Quixote (as a protagonist) is a common man with many deficiencies.

So, Don Quixote laid a firm foundation on which future’s most important literary genre of novel was to be built.
