This is foreshadowing that Fortunado will not leave the vaults (C). He has become nervous about Montressor's actions and has suggested that they leave, hoping that this is all a joke. But Montressor uses verbal irony to indicate that only he will be leaving, and Fortunado will remain entombed for the insults he supposedly dealt Montressor previous to the beginning of the narrative. The second question, though it doesn't have all the multiple choice options available, suggests that Montressor is trying to flatter Fortunado to pique his interests in going down to the catacombs, even during this festival. He is playing to Fortunado's ego as a wine connoisseur.

What is the significance of Grendel’s failure to touch Hrothgar’s throne? (lines 75-85)

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer and Explanation:

Grendel and Hrothgar are characters in the famous epic poem "Beowulf". Grendel is described as a man-eating monster and as a descendant of Cain. As we know, according to the Bible, Cain was the first man to ever commit murder. For that reason, Cain was cursed by God.

Hrothgar, on the other hand, has a connection with God. As the king, Hrothgar was chosen by God - it is believed across several cultures that the king and queen of a country are God's descendants or representatives. That is why Grendel cannot attach his throne. The glorious throne is also protected by God, and Grendel, as a descendant of Cain, is a cursed creature.

What do the four parts of the Christian biblical narrative (i.e., creation, fall, redemption, and restoration) say about the nat

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

The four parts of the Christian narrative- creation, fall, redemption and restoration all lay emphasis on the goodness of God.

Explanation:

Christianity believes in the creation of man through God's want to have an image of his own to be by his side. But the fall (Satan deceiving Eve with the forbidden fruit) led to the banishment of man from the holy Garden of Eden. Even then, God, in his forever loving grace, didn't want to completely abandon his created being so he sent his only son to redeem men from their sins. this is through the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on the cross which is symbolic of the ransom paid by God to deliver his people from Hell. And through this redemption, man is restored to the same position he was put in God's kingdom. Through all these, we can know that God is grace and full of mercy, ever ready to forgive if we go to him with a repenting heart. but in times of sickness and trouble, it is hard to even think of God and his graces. We humans impulsively decide to work out things on our own. It is at times like this that God expects us to go to him and present our worries and troubles in front of him. He is always ready to listen and help in every circumstance. According to the Christian narrative, each and every situation should be taken to God and he alone will give us answers and help, even at times of illness. He alone is capable of providing the help, comfort and hope when mere man can do nothing in comparison to him. And this implies that no matter how serious any situation may be, for God there is nothing that is impossible for him to solve. As long as we are ready to let go and trust him fully, He is capable of doing anything, always ready to help out and set us free.

The creation of man was the most important work of God in that he made someone in his own image, to be exactly like him. But with human greed and distrust for God, disobedience and turning away from God occurred. The fall is evident of man's greed and distrust of God and his ways, even though he himself is the one who had brought us into this world in the first place. This fall is also necessary to know the full wrath of God and also show his soft side for man. Even after the disobedience and lying, He still sent his only son to redeem man from the peril of forever suffering in Hell. And as though that saving grace wasn't enough already, he also offered man a place in His kingdom, to be a part of his heavenly angel family. In all, he didn't stop loving his creation and is always ready to welcome us with open arms.
