<u>Answer:</u>

  • ‘Hamlet’ is one of the play by William Shakespeare. The play is about the prince Hamlet and his revenge against Claudius who’s Hamlet’s uncle.
  • In the play, Hamlet addresses his uncle as ‘A little more than kin and less than kind.’ When Hamlet says ‘A little more than kin’ he means that his uncle Claudius is now not just his uncle, but his step father as well simply because he married Hamlet’s mother.
  • ‘Less than kind’ means that although Claudius is now Hamlet’s stepfather, he is less than kind because of the fact that he briskly married his mother and it was because of Claudius that Hamlet’s father died.

Read "The Story of an Hour." This story met with significant indifference or hostility when Kate Chopin wrote it in 1894. As you
leva [86]

Answer and explanation:

Note: I'm writing according to my responses while I read the story. Feel free to change anything to make it true for yourself.

Unlike readers at the time when the story was published, I've found it amusing and intelligent. At first, I assumed Mrs. Mallard would be another simple, shallow, tragic character. Her reaction after hearing of her husband's presumed death seemed quite normal, since she looked devastated. For an instant I thought she would die from her heart condition even though her sister and friend were careful while giving her the news. However, to my delight and surprise, Mrs. Mallard finds enlightenment at that sad moment. Her house and her husband have meant confinement for her. She has been obedient, submissive, impotent her whole life. As she locked her bedroom door, I thought she wouldn't know what to do without Mr. Mallard. But she looked out the window, saw the beautiful world that did not stop existing due to her husband's death, and realized she was finally free. The story suddenly got a thousand times more interesting. This woman, this seemingly shallow character, is actually deep and colorful. She has a will to live that had been buried. Now that the main symbol of her oppression as a woman is gone, she is at liberty to feel, think, and do as she pleases. It was comically tragic when she indeed died of her heart condition upon finding out her husband was alive. I hoped the story would end with Mrs. Mallard leaving the house and heading towards her new life. Still, the irony of the situation is amusing. Other characters assumed she died of happiness when we, the readers, know she died of disappointment.

"Values determine the character". Discuss this statement with reference to the Guru and King in the lesson 'In the Kingdom of Fo
Svet_ta [14]

Answer: The Guru proves to be a wise man who thought about the people and their unfair lifestyle. The king was nothing but an irrational and cruel ruler who wanted to sacrifice someone at all costs. Therefore, values determine the character since they can be hated or loved by the people for their actions or behaviors.

Explanation: When an irrational sacrifice was occurring and the cruel king was looking for a culprit, the Guru decided to preach his knowledge, making the king understand a valuable lesson. Values can determine how respected or hated a person be. When the king passed, the Guru was chosen to be the next king due to his noble values, and the end of the king's kingdom was only seen as a dark chapter in people's life.
