This line comes from Dylan Thomas's poem "Do not go gentle into that good night". There, the speaker admonishes his father against dying peacefully, instead telling him that he should "rage, rage against the dying of the light". He presents several examples of people who do not die in peace, but instead rage against their mortality. One of those examples are "good men" who, instead of resigning themselves to their fate, think about other things they might have done, and how those deeds would have given them a better reputation. Thus, they rage against the dying of the light.

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The direct characterization of Dr. Jekyll implies that he is upset by Utterson's persistence.

Explanation:

"Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" is a gothic novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. The main character is Dr. Jekyll, a doctor who is able to develop a potion that separates the good aspects of his personality from the bad. Mr. Hyde is the man he transforms into when the bad traits take over.

In this particular excerpt, we have a brief direct characterization that reveals something about the character. Direct characterization takes place when the narrator/author is the one explicitly describing the character. In this case, it is <u>"The large handsome face of Dr. Jekyll grew pale to the very lips, and there came a blackness about his eyes." This characterization shows that Jekyll is upset. He is clearly not bored, offended, or resigned. Those adjectives would need a completely different description. The paleness of his face and lips, the shadow over his eyes, all show that Utterson's persistence is disconcerting Jekyll. He does not wish to discuss this any further.</u>

Someone please write a paragraph for me about how martial status of a woman can affect workplace? Like married vs non married an

Illusion [34]

Answer:

singled women do feel treated differently because their colleagues are married, particularly in an office setting — they’re talking about their family and kids, planning to go out as couples.

Also, a man who feels in love with a singled woman will just concentrate on spending nights with the woman rather than on what they were called. And when that happens the progress of the company may be affected.

Please mark as brainliest .
