The long prologue that the Wife of Bath presents before her tale already suggests that her story will be an unusual and surprising one. This is because of all the strange elements that the prologue includes.

For example, we learn that the Wife of Bath likes to digress. She gets carried away with her story and mixes up plots, which leads to confusing and comical results. Moreover, we learn that the Wife has very unusual opinions when it comes to marriage. Contrary to most women at the time, she was a dominant character in all her relationships, and was able to take advantage of her husbands. This is despite the fact that she dealt with common sexists problems of the time, such as being beaten by her husband. The autonomy and self-confidence of the Wife of Bath contribute to making the prologue unusual, which hints at the surprising nature of the tale itself.

Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.
solmaris [256]

This question is missing the answer choices. I was able to find them online. They are as follows:

In the excerpt, the word "charm" is being compared with:

A. nobody

B. plain

C. laughter

D. name

Answer:

In the excerpt, the word "charm" is being compared with

D. name.

Explanation:

The excerpt we are analyzing here belongs to the epic poem "The Odyssey", by Greek poet Homer. Not much is known about Homer. It is believed that he was born between the 12th and the 18th centuries. His place of birth is also unknown.

In "The Odyssey", the epic hero Odysseus is trying to return home after fighting in the Trojan War. On his way, he and his ship crew end up in a land filled with one-eyed giants known as Cyclopes. In the passage, Odysseus has deceived a Cyclops by telling him his name was Nobody. Now that he has hurt the Cyclops, when others ask him who hurt him, all the monster can say is "Nobody hurt me."

<u>In the line "to see how like a charm the name deceived them," we have an example of simile. Simile is a figure of speech that compares two different things with the help of words such as "like" or "as". In this case, the two things being compared are "charm" and "name". The name worked like a charm to deceive the Cyclopes.</u>
