Which excerpt from "The Masque of the Red Death" best shows Prince Prospero’s self-centeredness? It was in the eastern or blue c

hamber in which stood the Prince Prospero as he uttered these words. They rang throughout the seven rooms loudly and clearly, for the prince was a bold and robust man, and the music had become hushed at the waving of his hand.
It was then, however, that the Prince Prospero, maddening with rage and the shame of his own momentary cowardice, rushed hurriedly through the six chambers, while none followed him on account of a deadly terror that had seized upon all.

When the eyes of the Prince Prospero fell upon this spectral image (which, with a slow and solemn movement, as if more fully to sustain its role, stalked to and from among the waltzers) he was seen to be convulsed, in the first moment with a strong shudder either of terror or distaste; but, in the next, his brow reddened with rage.

But the Prince Prospero was happy and dauntless and sagacious. When his dominions were half depopulated, he summoned to his presence a thousand hale and light-hearted friends from among the knights and dames of his court, and with these retired to the deep seclusion of one of his castellated abbeys.

The family of four is only mentioned twice in the text. What is the effect of this narrative choice and leaving out this evidenc
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

The effect of this narrative choice is that it reflects the society's ignorance of or lack of caring towards poor people, giving our attention (and favor) to the rich.

Explanation:

In the context of the article titled "Wealthy teen nearly Experiences Consequences," the author mentions the phrase 'the family of the four' twice in the text with the aim to throw light upon the shallow beliefs and careless attitude of the society towards the poor and helpless people. It emphasizes the idea of how society offers its attention and concentration over the rich so much that the poor are ignored, exploited, and overlooked excessively. This narrative choice makes the idea more effective.

Which word or phrase best describes the political and religious atmosphere of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries?
Effectus [21]
The word or phrase that best describes the political and religious atmosphere of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries is "tumultuous" (D). During this period, the church was in a crisis. It was losing power and the European peasants were rising up against the way they were being treated by the church and the noblemen. The Reformation also moved the centre of power from the Roman Catholic Church to the German Lutheran church. Martin Luther was one of the leaders of the Reformation.
