Describe Melantho’s character. Define the term foil and explain how Melantho is used as a foil for Eurycleria. (The Odyssey)

1 answer:

4 0

A foil in literature describes a character who contrasts with another character in order to make comparisons and highlight certain traits between these two persons.

Both Melantho and Eurycleia are servants of Odysseus. While Melantho is unloyal, (sleeping with the suitors while Odysseus is away) and treating him rudely when he returns disguised as a beggar, Eurycleia remains devoted and kind. Melantho is used as a foil for Eurycleia to showcase her good traits.

Which sentence contains a misplaced modifier?

frosja888 [35]

I would say <span>b. The band played songs for the crowd with guitars. it sounds very awkward because "with guitars" should be placed after " the band played songs" and a comma placed after "the band played songs".

so this is what it should look like

The band played songs, with guitars, for the crowd

Hope it helps!
