Death

In the poem the speaker says, "The Carriage held but just Ourselves – " At the very beginning of the poem the speaker personifies Death. When she says, "Because I could not stop for Death - He kindly stopped for me". This idea that Death stops for the speaker, personifies Death and makes him a character in the poem. This means that "Ourselves" refers to the speaker and Death.

Some people have argued that since Death is personified, so is Immortality and therefore Immortality is also riding in the Carriage with the speaker and Death. However, this is not a widely accepted interpretation.

Answer: In modern systems, a successful State is a territorial unit. As a territorial unit, its sovereignty extends over all the individuals and other things within its given territory. "A State is sovereign or the supreme power, within its territory and that state sovereignty extends to all the individuals in a given territory." by Dunleavy and O'leary.

Explanation: Some successful states were separately constituted with their own laws and institutions but dependent, such as Southern Netherlands and various states in Italy and around the Baltic. Gustavus had been a keen student of both the ancient discourses on military tactics, and how/why they were used. He incorporated many of these neo-classic “innovations” into his army. Gustavus’ army thus became more linear, more flexible and more maneuverable.

Why would an image of a hero change over time?

Naddika [18.5K]

I believe that an image of a hero would change over time D. to appeal to what modern-day audiences like and expect.
Heroes in the literature of the past were quite different from what we are used to in the modern day. So, the authors need to adapt their heroes a bit in order to suit the needs of modern-day audience who wants to read about something a little bit more contemporary.
