Answer:
14. Is Adventure; obstacles; damsels in distress.
15. is He does not think highly of women in general.
16. is The Knight committed a terrible crime.
Explanation:
Basically, the knight in "The Wife of Bath" had found a woman by a river, ("damsel in distress"), and sought to take advantage of her, because he did not believe women are of importance, or really matter, so he inevitably raped her, which is why 16. is what it is, because his action with the woman by the river, was a crime, and a terrible thing.
Hope this helped.
Answer:
B. "I was benevolent and good; misery made me a fiend. Make me happy, and I shall again be virtuous."
Explanation:
The theme, "Each person contains good and evil" means that we all have two sides embedded in us and it is shown based on challenges, situations, treatment and things we are being subjected to during the cause of our living. The good side manifests if the world around us isn't cruel or trains us to be good and compassionate while the other side also manifests if the world treats us with horror and hence becomes part of us.
Answer:
Readers of Beowulf will likely view Grendel as a villain. Readers of Grendel, however, will likely view the character as more sympathetic.
Explanation:
Beowulf is one of the most famous epic poems of all time. It takes the name of its main character, who fights and defeats three monsters: Grendel, Grendel's mother, and a dragon. In the poem, Grendel is described as a man-eating monster, incapable of feeling, whose only purpose is to kill.
However, in John Gardner's version "Grendel", we are presented with this character under a completely different light. He is not a monster as portrayed in Beowulf. Grendel has feelings; he suffers. People are, unfortunately, incapable of understanding him due to his appearance and his inability to communicate. He is likely to be more sympathetic to readers as someone who wishes to be accepted, but is mistreated instead.
