I mean like is this a serious question?
Answer:
No, none that I am aware of. In Shakespeare’s time, a tragedy meant that the main character falls from fortune to disaster, normally because of a flaw or fate. Obviously, other characters may be unharmed, or may even benefit from the protagonist’s downfall. I’m not writing to make fun of other posters, but we could as easily call the Matrix a tragedy because Agent Smith loses, or say that Titanic has a happy ending for coffin salesmen. Yes, Macduff or Fortinbras do well at the end of their plays, but they are not the protagonists.
For that reason, because a pre-modern tragedy definitionally means that the hero falls, and that’s what happens in Shakespeare’s plays, I’d say no. There are “problem” plays such as the Merchant of Venice, where the opposite happens—a comedy has a partly sad ending, with Shylock’s defeat—but again, it’s all in what the protagonist does, and Antonio (the merchant) wins at its close when his ships return
Isn’t it a poem i saw it on Google
Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Use context clues to determine the underlined word. Explain what strategy you used to determine the meaning of the word. Mrs. Milburn <u>admonished</u> the students who did not turn in their multimedia presentations. She told them they had until tomorrow morning to complete the presentations or else the students would have to go to detention.
Answer:
The word "admonished" as used in the above text means "to advise".
Explanation:
To get to the meaning of the word "admonished," I literally followed the context clues, that is, I read the whole text and realized that the password Milburn was giving a warning to the students, she was informing about their multimedia presentations. Thus, in the context of the text, I realized that the word "admonished" was related to "warn," "inform." After that conclusion, I went to get the meaning of the word in a dictionary and saw that I was correct.
