Answer:

Explanation:

The monarchs that said that there was no person in the world with the right of addressing them directly based their authority on God (or the Gods their society believed in), because they had the idea that God was the one who chose them to rule, and trying to question them, was similar to questioning God itself.

At what points in Bram Stoker's "Dracula" are the weaknesses/fragility of the human mind and soul explored within the characters

Alecsey [184]

This stoker's novel shows how fragile human existence was, and weakened the beliefs of free will and immortal soul. Stoker relied on medical sciences as a physiology and used much of the novel in his characters, brain actions that cast doubt on such beliefs as trance and somnambulism, dramatizing a very common fear at the time of the novel, the Victorian era. It was well portrayed the fear that at that time humans were soulless animals and followed only their physiological and cerebral instincts. The soul and the mind were in conflict. It was the religious faith of the time against the effects considered "paranormal", portrayed in the novel.

Why is it significant that Tony and Maria repeat the phrase “tonight, tonight” over and over in their song?

n200080 [17]

Hello! Allow me to help!

Your question: Why is it significant that Tony and Maria repeat the phrase “tonight, tonight” over and over in their song?

My answer: These two phrases are the biggest indication of what this song predicts, as well; Tony's romance with Maria, the sister of the Shark gang leader, Bernardo, and the fact that, due to hatred and conflict between the Jets and Sharks, as well as tribal/ethnic loyalties, Tony and Maria's romance will not see the light of day.

Why is my answer correct? Good question! Allow me to explain: The fact that West Side Story, as a movie/musical, is a combination of so many different events that take place, which, in turn, fuel the various emotions, and therefore the dancing, is also what gives this great movie/musical its strength and enduring fortitude, and makes it as relevant, even today, as it ever was. So many things that went on back then, and still go on, also give West Side Story its strength. Urban gang warfare, racial & ethnic tensions, romances that take place across racial, ethnic, religious and socioeconomic lines, the immigration experience, conflict with the law, substance and alcohol abuse, and tribal/ethnic loyalties that result in protection and honor, and yet often have deleterious results, as well. There are romances across various lines that succeed and flourish, even resulting in dating and intermarriage as well as the raising of families, and yet, some romances/marriages go up in smoke due to tensions, hostilities, and hidebound, insular tribal, ethnic and cultural loyalties.

Hope this helps! UwU

4. What excuse does Lady Macbeth give for Macbeth's behavior at the party?

andre [41]

[D]

Lady Macbeth: Sit down, worthy friends. My husband is often like this, and he has been since he was a child. Please stay seated. This is just a brief fit. In a moment he’ll be well again. If you pay too much attention to him you’ll make him angry, and that will make his convulsions go on longer. Eat your dinner and pay no attention to him.

"With a glance she sets her hair ablaze
and whirls suddenly with daring art"

Some powerful words used with profound meaning in this line such as glance, ablaze and daring art.

Glance can be taken literally but in this case of connotative associations this word embodies the effortlessness in the activity she's performing. Without even a thought. With hesitance or any sort of labor. This simple word conveys this woman is extraordinary without even trying or maybe even knowing.

Ablaze, this woman lit up and exploded with fierce vibes. With the suggestions of fire, it really channels a burst in confident colors within someones personality or actions. Without even questioning herself, she set her own self restraint free and let the spark flame.

Daring art, insinuating a bold work of mastery and profession. Daring not only being confident but its risky what she's doing and could have possibly been a failure but she's owning it. Whirling with fortitude, so this woman is probably dancing in a literal sense but with the way the mood is set, its almost like she's floating and the world is whirling around her.

"her whole dress into this fiery rapture,
out of which, like startled snakes,
her bare arms stretch, alive and clacking"

Such connotative lines but these phrases fiery rapture, startled snakes, alive and clacking really sat center stage.

Fiery rapture, this woman's strong movements has made her dress dance with her own wind. Seems to have its on spirit. But it moves not soft and accordingly, its fiery meaning this woman is being aggressive. This isn't the affects of a calm, sweet and vulnerable piece, this is a hot and heavy storm.

Startled snakes, moving so vigorously yet in rhythm and in a pattern. This dress very much is probably long and flow-y showing and reenacting her own steps. But this particular description shows how advancing she's being. This dress didn't "flow like a weeping willow tree." The very word "snakes" supports danger and fearlessness.

Alive and clacking, the shapes and movements of her arms speak their own language. Almost as if they are silently speaking. They are very much present and cant be missed. You can almost hear them. Expressing all sorts of different meanings
