How do carnival traditions add to the mood of the story?

English
1 answer:
jolli1 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

C. The wild parties, masks, and hidden faces create a mood of secrecy and unease.

Explanation:

Edgar Allen Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado" is a short story that revolves around the revenge plan of Montresor on his friend Fortunato. The story ends with the successful 'killing/punishment' of Fortunato after he gets walled-in by Montresor.

The scene takes place during a wild carnival night which adds to the irony of the whole story. Yet, it also adds to the secretive nature of the plan, the 'other side' of how Montresor presents himself to be. While on the one hand, the carnival represents the festive and merry mood of the scene, it also acts as a foil and occasion for Montresor to successfully lure Fortunato into his trap- that of inviting him to taste-test his acquired wine. Montresor admits that despite his plans of hurting his friend, he <em>"was so pleased to see him" </em>when he approached him.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Explain in at least 150 words what significance a dowry plays in a marriage. What impact does the dowry have on social class? Us
romanna [79]

Answer:

The book "Nectar in a Sieve" takes place in India, where the practice of giving dowries is extremely common. A dowry, in Indian culture, is a sum of money attached to a woman of marrying age to be given to her husband/husband's family when they get married.

The larger the dowry the better, because more respectable and promising men tend to receive the brides with the largest dowries. However, if the woman is exceptionally attractive, they may still be able to catch the eye of the more promising men. In the novel, Rukmani describes herself as having no dowry and having little beauty. Because of this, she ends up betrothed to a poor farmer, and her prospects are extremely limited. Her daughter, Ira, however, is able to marry significantly above her station, as she is considered very beautiful.

So, in most cases, a dowry will determine your fate and how well of a life you will be able to live later on. In some cases, though not often, you can rise above this fate.

Given the precious scene in which Banquo’s death is planned, and the next scene in which the audience could learn with Macbeth t
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

Shakespeare decides to tell the audience that Fleance escapes because he was involved in the witches' prophecy about Banquo, if you paid attention to the witches' prophecy, you must know that Banquo's sons are a crucial part of it. In fact, the main reason why Macbeth wants Banquo and Fleance death is because according to the Witches, Banquo's sons would be kings some day. When the witches tell Macbeth that he was going to be the king, they also tell Banquo: <u><em>"Thou shall get kings, though thou be none", </em></u>this means, although you will not be king, your sons will be kings. It was because of this information that Macbeth felt threatened by them, by killing them he could have the crown for himself. The fact that Fleance escapes, tells the audience that the witches' prophecy will become true and that Macbeth will not be able to stop that from hapenning. As a result, the downfall of the tragic hero (Macbeth) begins, because it can be seen that he can't fight against destiny.
