Explanation:
In grammar, the term<em> </em><em>voice</em><em> </em>refers to the relationship between the action or state expressed by the verb and the participants of the sentence, such as the subject, object, and others. There are two voices in English:
-
The active voice - the sentence has a subject that acts upon its verb (e.g<em> A boy is eating a sandwich</em>).
- The passive voice - the subject is the recipient of a verb's action (e.g. <em>A sandwich is being eaten by a boy</em>).
Based on this information, we can determine whether the given sentences are written in the active or passive voice.
Answer and Explanation:
Let's talk about Fortunato's name. What does it remind you of?
The name "Fortunato" reminds me of the word "fortune".
If you met someone named Fortunato, you would expect this person to be...what?
Fortune has two meanings. It can refer to luck or to wealth. Therefore, if I met someone named Fortunato, I would expect this person to be lucky or rich. I would expect him to have a happy life.
I believe this question is connected to the short story "The Cask of Amontillado", by author Edgar Allan Poe. It is ironic that the character Fortunato should have such a name, since he is being taken by his very friend, Montresor, to be buried alive.

Explanation:
The idea of being star-crossed links back to the idea of fate and the cosmos or gods deciding our future for us. It gives a sense of hopelessness that no matter what happens, the fate would stay the same. Romeo and Juliet being star crossed lovers meant that they were never meant to be together and happy. It was the belief that the stars didn't align in their favor. For King Oedipus, it was more of the Greek gods, but still obtains the idea of fate and an uncontrollable future. Oedipus was fated to live a sad life, and while others would argue he could've done something else, I believe that he couldn't simply because he didn't know any better before.
