How does Emerson define greatness in Self Reliance

English
1 answer:
mart [117]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

"‘Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.’ — Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.”

Explanation:

This line implies that, usually, the general population does not accept or understand greatness. As long as a person lives with his dreams and passions, whether accepted or not, it is right for his well-being. Another interpretation of this phrase can be that someone sees a completely different perspective of ideas and things in such a way that no one has ever thought or seen them before, because of their outlook about things and ideas is unusual.

Which two sets of lines in this excerpt from John Milton's Paradise Lost show that Satan acknowledges the goodness of God, despi
enyata [817]

Answer:

<em>Little inferior; whom my thoughts pursue</em>

<em>With wonder, and could love, so lively shines </em>

and

<em>In them Divine resemblance, and such grace </em>

<em>The hand that formd them on their shape hath pourd.</em>

Explanation:

These two sets of lines show how Satan acknowledges the goodness of God. In the first set, Satan tells us that his "thoughts pursue" God, and he also talks about love and shine. In the second set of lines, Satan talks about God's "divine resemblance," and he tells us that he made his creations with "grace." All of these positive words show that Satan feels some kind of respect towards God.
