Which two lines of text in this excerpt from William Dean Howells's "Editha" demonstrate the author’s opposition to conventional

ideas of patriotism?
"No, you didn't expect him to get killed," Mrs. Gearson repeated in a voice which was startlingly like George's again. "You just expected him to kill someone else, some of those foreigners, that weren't there because they had any say about it, but because they had to be there, poor wretches—conscripts, or whatever they call 'em. You thought it would be all right for my George, your George, to kill the sons of those miserable mothers and the husbands of those girls that you would never see the faces of." The woman lifted her powerful voice in a psalm-like note. "I thank my God he didn't live to do it! I thank my God they killed him first, and that he ain't livin' with their blood on his hands!" She dropped her eyes which she had raised with her voice, and glared at Editha. "What you got that black on for?" She lifted herself by her powerful arms so high that her helpless body seemed to hang limp its full length. "Take it off, take it off, before I tear it from your back!"

<u>Answer:</u>

"You just expected him to kill someone else, some of those foreigners, that weren't there because they had any say about it, but because they had to be there, poor wretches—conscripts, or whatever they call 'em"

These lines are a manifestation of author's strong opposition to the traditional ways of showing patriotism, showing empathy towards the poor and helpless foreigners who could not do anything and were likely to be killed.

The dialogue between Montessor and fortunato. In a least three sentences, explain how montresor is tricking fortunato into comin
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer and Explanation:

In Poe's short story "The Cask of Amontillado," the main character Montresor is luring his friend Fortunato to the catacombs under his home. His intention is to get revenge after being offended by Fortunato.

<u>To lure him, Montresor uses Fortunato's own pride against him. He lies by telling Fortunato he will call someone else to check if he bought real Amontillado. Fortunato is quite an arrogant wine connoisseur, so he makes a point of going himself.</u>

<u>That reveals a few things about Montresor. We can tell he is intelligent and manipulative. He used his knowledge of his friend's personality to deceive him. He is also quite a good actor, so to speak, since Fortunato was a bit suspicious at first, but Montresor's behavior soon dissipated his doubts.</u>
