Read the following passage from “The Devil and Tom Walker.” What statement about the cultural attitudes in Massachusetts is Wash

ing Irving making in this passage?
“Oh, I go by various names,” [says the Devil]. “I am the wild huntsman in some countries; the black miner in others. In this neighborhood I am known by the name of the black woodsman. I am he to whom the red men consecrated this spot, and in honor of whom they now and then roasted a white man, by way of sweet-smelling sacrifice. Since the red men have been exterminated by you white savages, I amuse myself by presiding at the persecutions of Quakers and Anabaptists; I am the great patron and prompter of slave-dealers and the grand-master of the Salem witches.”

A) Irving is praising the colonists for taking a stand against evil.


B) Irving is condemning the colonists’ mistreatment of others.


C) Irving is ridiculing the superstitious beliefs of the colonists.

B) Irving is condemning the colonists’ mistreatment of others.

 

<span>We know the answer is not “A” because Irving would, thus, need to be praising the devil since he attributes the persecutions to the devil as the devil mentions he presides at the persecutions.  We know the answer is not “C” because superstition is not innately evil and is considered silly to some, and there is nothing silly about the killing those found guilty during the persecutions of the Quakers and Anabaptists.  We know “D” is not the answer because there is no mention as to how colonists view the devil.  There is mention of how the devil is known in other countries; the only mention of the devil and the colonists is how the devil mentions he presides at persecutions.  Thus, we know that “B” is the best response because to describe actions as those being watched over and encouraged by the devil is a condemnation insinuating those taking part are accessories/accomplices to evil. </span>

How could calibans behavior be interpreted as negative or harmful
Alina [70]

Answer:

Caliban is Prospero's dark, earthy slave. He tried to take Miranda's innocence, and as a result, Prospero imprisoned him and tried to civilize him by teaching him language. Caliban's behavior is harmful as he is completely savage and unable to control his basic drives, such as sexual desire.

He is given the tasks such as carrying the wood, and he always protests and curses. As he points out in Act I, Scene II, <em>'You taught me language, and my profit on't. Is I know how to curse.' </em>Caliban is defiant, full of hatred and discontent, which culminates when he plots against Prospero, together with Stefano and Trinculo.
