Answer:

With strength and planning, one can resist temptation.

Explanation:

In Homer's "Odyssey", the main hero of the epic narrative story is Odysseus. The story details the journey of Odysseus and his men from their way back home to Ithaca after the war at Troy.

In Book 12 of the story, Circe warns Odysseus of the journey ahead and the sounds of the sirens that will try to lure the men. She advised him on how to be safe from these creatures' calls, telling him to seal their ears so that they won't get any sound in. Also, she told him to do the same and also tie himself at the mast so that even after his desperate pleas, he won't be able to get loose. This obedience led them through the waters safe and away from the danger of the Sirens and their temptations. This scene shows the theme of perseverance, strength and planning as a means of avoiding and resisting temptation.

What is a difference between Gertrude's description of Ophelia's drowning and the painting of the same scene? A) There is nothin
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

C) She looks peaceful and serene in the painting, but the play says she met a "muddy death."

Explanation:

In William Shakespeare's <em>Hamlet</em>, Ophelia is the daughter of Polonius and the sister of Laertes, and also the lover of Hamlet. She became insane after the death of her father and the loss of Hamlet who has also seemingly become insane due to his grief of his own father's death.

Act IV scene vii of the play shows Gertrude bringing the news of Ophelia's death to Laertes. And while describing the drowning scene of Ophelia, Gertrude mentions that she was<em> "clambering to hang"</em> the flowery wreaths on a branch of a tree when it gave way and she was dumped into the brook. She was then pulled further into the water when <em>"her garments, heavy with their drink,  Pulled the poor wretch from her melodious lay  To muddy death."</em> This shows a rather unsettling and painful death.

On the contrary, the painting of Ophelia's death by Sir John Everett Millais, a British artist, shows her peacefully floating on the water with flowers around her. Her eyes were slightly open and a calm expression on her face, with hardly any sign of pain in it.
