<em>Virgil is an appropriate guide for Dante at the beginning of "The Divine Comedy" because he is Dante's mentor and describes hell in the Aeneid. </em>When Dante enters Hell he is guided through the underworld by Virgil, who was a Roman Poet. Virgil wrote a heroic poem called "The Aeneid" in which talks about the descend into hell. Therefore by describing his poem and his work, Virgil works as Dante's mentor and guide through Hell and is an appropriate character to do so.

Answer:

- is Dante's mentor

- describes Hell in The Aeneid

Explanation:

Epic poets traditionally call on the Muses—patron goddesses of the arts—for inspiration. Dante, a Christian, cannot appeal to pagan gods but employs the Latin poet Virgil as guide.

Virgil is suited to guide Dante through Hell, for he described the underworld in Book 6 of the Aeneid.

Explain the disadvantages of emphasizing background information, such as historical context when critiquing a poem.
jek_recluse [69]

Answer: Biographical criticism is often associated with historical-biographical criticism, a critical method that "sees a literary work chiefly, if not exclusively, as a reflection of its author's life and times".

<em></em>

<em>New Criticism was a formalist movement in literary theory that dominated American literary criticism in the middle decades of the 20th century. It emphasized close reading, particularly of poetry, to discover how a work of literature functioned as a self-contained, self-referential aesthetic object.</em>

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

What Are 3 Reasons Bear Hibernates
stepan [7]

Answer:

Some bears hibernate in hollowed-out tree trunks. Some take a months-long rest beneath thick brambles and brush. Others dig into the hills to forge snug dens. And still others discover caves to hide away from the biting winter chill. But wherever a bear chooses to hibernate, the objective is the same. It's a keen adaptation to avoid the long, ruthless winter famine. Hibernating animals — including ground squirrels, groundhogs, and bats — slow their breaths, reduce their heartbeats, and substantially wind down, or depress, their metabolisms. Such dramatic changes can be taxing on their bodies, but the alternative, amid a starving winter, is almost certain death. So, come fall, the animals go into a controlled, coma-like state.

Hope Helps
