Answer: B. It causes the reader to think about how doing nothing should be easy, but in fact can be quite hard.

A paradox is a contradictory statement that nevertheless contains an element of truth. It is a dramatic figure of speech that is often used when describing absurd situations. In this case, the paradox is the fact that Algernon believes doing nothing to be hard, contrary to most people's assumptions. He goes even further by saying that work that is pointless is still preferable to doing nothing.

Can a character be both tragic and heroic at the same<br> time? If so, in what ways?
Alenkinab [10]

Answer: This is called a tragic hero. Someone who is doomed to die, yet as a good person. For example: Hamilton was a tragic hero, he was intellectual, intelligent, and truly a writer, however he knew this about himself and became somewhat arrogant and conceded, his will to prove he was the best in end was his downfall. Another example was John Proctor in The Crucible, had he admitted he was in league with witches and the devil he would be granted his life, however hiding true to his faith and loyalty to God, he never once allowed himself to lie. Knowing his life maybe spared, but his soul forever tainted in the eyes of God. A tragic hero is a person of good heart and soul, who allows their flaws to get the best of them. Proctors flaw was his honesty at all costs, even the cost of his life.

Hope this helps ^_^

How does Shakespeare make use of nature background?
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

We see a noteworthy storm before the murder of Caesar. This shows that something tumultuous is about to happen. These are seen as portents from a classical point of view, of which Shakespeare knows. Also we see many things that go against nature - again these are portents that signify that not all is well. So, we see owls in the middle of the day, and lions who walk around Rome casually.

In short, odd things in nature or extreme things in nature are used to show uneasiness.
