Answer: Women were seen as only meant for marriage, and the ideal wife considers her husband to be her master.

Explanation:

When describing a cosmetic that could be used to get rid of Georgiana´s birthmark, Aylmer concludes that "Your case demands a remedy that shall go deeper,” taking for himself the power to make such a decision, and implying that there´s something wrong with her wife beyond her physical appearance.

Georgiana also subscribes to the idea of her being submissive to her husband, even praying that "for a single moment, she might satisfy his highest and deepest conception," even knowing he will never be content.

Zanzabum

Answer:

By a snake bite.

Explanation:

In the play "Hamlet", when the old King Hamlet died, rumors spread that the king died after a snake bit him.

<u>We can find about this in Act 1 Scene 5 when the Ghost of the old King appears to Hamlet to reveal about his murder and his murderer.</u>

The Ghost said in lines 35-40 of Act 1, Scene 5:

<em>" 'Tis given out that, </em><u><em>sleeping in my orchard, </em></u>

<u><em>A serpent stung me. So the whole ear of Denmark</em></u><em> </em>

<em>Is by a forgèd process of my death </em>

<em>Rankly abused. But know, thou noble youth, </em>

<u><em>The serpent that did sting thy father’s life </em></u>

<u><em>Now wears his crown.</em></u><em>"</em> (Quoted Text from Hamlet)

So, the correct answer is words spread about the murder of the king that he was bit by a snake and died.

In the poem he uses the words vacant, pensive, solitude to indicate that he is in a reflective mood. When this happens he says that "they flash upon that inward eye". The pronoun they is referring to the scene with the daffodils. This scene allows him to feel happy and gay because he is "in such a jocund company". This poem has a positive tone to it.
