Answer:

Explanation:

Wiglaf is a young but strong and fearless warrior. He has great courage but most importantly, he is deeply loyal to his leader Beowulf. There is an honor code between the king or lord and his followers (also called retainers) by which the followers show loyalty and devotion and fight no matter the result. In return, the leader rewards them with land, protection and treasure.

Wiglaf follows this code of honor when he decides to risk his own life to help Beowulf battle against the dragon. When he realizes that his leader is in great danger, he called the other warrios but they all flee. Wiglaf stays and stubs the dragon bravely. This allows Beowulf to kill the dragon.

How does asides work in conjunction with dramatic irony?

navik [9.2K]

Dramatic Irony is irony based on you knowing something the characters don't know. If you've ever seen a horror movie, or a Nicholas Sparks romantic drama, you know what I'm talking about. Examples would be knowing that the blonde character is about to open the door to the room that Jason is waiting in, or the husband coming home to see his wife when we clearly know she remarried while he was off.

So, asides are the main way a storyteller is able to communicate dramatic irony for tension, weather it be dramatic or comedic. Lets go back to the Friday the 13th analogy. The main story involves the teenagers at camp Crystal Lake. So while we'll have a scene fleshing out their characters in the dining room, we'll cut away to an "aside", or scene/plotline that's not directly related to the main plot, of Jason crawling in the window to the bathroom. We then cut back to the main shot, where the blonde character says she needs to relieve herself. Everybody laughs, and as she walks away, we see Jason inching towards the door with machete in hand. The side-plot, or "asides" of Jason getting in the room, builds the dramatic irony of us knowing the blonde is going to die, but the characters don't know that yet as the asides were out of their realm of perspective.

I hope this helps!

Which is the most effective paraphrase of this excerpt? When Odysseus and his men arrived on the island of Cicones, they enslave

sammy [17]

This question makes reference to the following excerpt:

Plunder we took, and we enslaved the women,

to make division, equal shares to all—

but on the spot I told them: 'Back, and quickly!

Out to sea again!' My men were mutinous,

fools, on stores of wine. Sheep after sheep they

butchered by the surf, and shambling cattle,

feasting,—while fugitives went inland, running

to call to arms the main force of Cicones.

The most effective paraphrase for this excerpt is option D: The men continued their acts of greed despite Odysseus's commands to stop and return to the ship, and the fugitives of Cicones ran inland to fetch help.

"The Odyssey" is Homer's epic poem about the struggle that the Greek hero Odysseus suffered to return home after the Trojan War. Odysseus is the hero of the Odyssey and the king of Ithaca. He is strong, courageous and incredibly intelligent.
