Answer: "A" – It provides a dramatic element that contrasts with the initial uniformity..

Explanation: The poem starts telling how impressed the poetic persona is with the beauty of the place he is looking at:

"I stand in the advancing light,

my hands hungry, the world beautiful.


My eyes can't get enough of the trees--

they're so hopeful, so green.


A sunny road runs through the mulberries,

I'm at the window of the prison infirmary."


Then we discover, with the third stanza, that the poetic persona is imprisoned, which introduces a dramatic element, of an imprisoned person, that contrasts with the initial part of the poem – from a beautiful description of nature to a desperate need of the outside freedom.<u> The author transforms the idea of beauty from the beginning in a kind of "freedom sentiment"</u>, that is, the "world beautiful" becomes the hopeful green of the trees, and that happens with the contrast introduced by the dramatic element of the infirmary prison – because, besides the fact of the prison, the poetic persona is also sick or injured, since he is in the infirmary.

Therefore, this transformation of ideas makes an incredible contrast effect, and transforms the poem from light and beautiful to angustiating and a little darker.

Considering that Act 3 is the climax of the play, how can we defend that Fleance's escape from the murderers is the turning poin
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Turning point is the moment in a plot where there is a "turning point" in the story, something big that can modify the course that the narrative was taking and presents an advantage or a disadvantage for the protogonists or antagonists of the story, however it always presents itself as a major climax-related event.

In Macbeth the climax happens at the moment when Macbeth is close to killing Banquo. At that moment Fleance flees trying to secure his position at court. This escape is the turning point in history because it gives the necessary resources for the prophecy that Banquo received, at the beginning of the story, to be fulfilled.

Banquo's prophecy stated that he would be the point of origin of a line of kings, but that he would not be able to be king.
