The following lines show us that Haemon believes that the opinions of the Theban citizens should be heeded:
"The commons stand in terror of thy frown,
And dare not utter aught that might offend,
But I can overhear their muttered plaints,
Know how the people mourn this maiden doomed
For noblest deeds to die the worst of deaths."
The citizens, according to Haemon, are too scared of defying Creon; however, Haemon can hear their objections to his decision, and he knows that they are on Antigone's side. They believe she is dying unfairly, and he respects their opinion, which is why he brings it to his father.
Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
What is the author's purpose for using a black spot on the paper?
Read the passage from "The Lottery."
Bill Hutchinson went over to his wife and forced the slip of paper out of her hand. It had a black spot on it, the black spot Mr. Summers had made the night before with the heavy pencil in the coal-company office. Bill Hutchinson held it up, and there was a stir in the crowd.
O to represent the darkness of death
to maintain the tradition of the lottery
O to enhance the mystery of the lottery
O to represent the horror of disobedience
Answer:
O to enhance the mystery of the lottery
Explanation:
The author presents the black spot on the paper as a way to convey a mysterious sensation to the reader. This is because the reader does not understand what this black spot represents, but understands that it is not a good and fun thing. In this way the reader begins to doubt the nature of the lottery and what it refers to. In this case, the author manages to show through the black spot on the paper, the mystery that the lottery carries, thus imposing a suspense in the plot.

<u><em>i guess so just check twice</em></u>
1. Epic poems are usually long.
2. Epic poems are about long and exciting journeys.
3. Epic poems are divided into books.
4. Epic poems do not follow a particular rhyme and meter.
This first statement contains characteristics of epic poems, as they are long narrative poems, they are literary works made with oral and written compositions from ancient times. Some examples are Gilgamesh and The Odyssey. It's usually an extensive and prolonged narrative in verse as it's a genre of poems.
The second statement contains one of the most important characteristics of epic poems, they told the journey of the hero with very fantastic features, they have incredible physical and mental traits. So this journey is often long as they conquer many dangerous situations in order to achieve their goal.
The third statement is another characteristic of epic poems, they are very long so they are divided into books. Usually, a single epic is divided into multiple books. One example is Homer's epics divided into 24 books.
And the final statement depends on the literary work that we are talking about. Epic poems were written in a formal, elevated style. They were sublime and with universal significance. They don't have a particular rhyme scheme. But when we are talking about the Odyssey and the Iliad they use a primary meter of Greek and Roman poetry know as <em>"dactilyc hexameter"</em> but without a rhyme scheme. So we can say that epic poems don't follow a particular rhyme but in some cases, they follow a particular meter.
