Explain menenuis metaphor comparing the body of Rome to a human body?

English
1 answer:
MariettaO [177]3 years ago
7 0

In The Fable of the Belly, Menenius compares Rome with a human body. This is the so-called "body politic" metaphor.

Menenius draws parallels between, for instance, a belly and the senators since they distribute the goods to people who are part of their country the same way a belly distributes nutrients to the other parts of the body and many more.

The point of this metaphor is that the same way each body part has to maintain its function in order to keep the whole body alive and working properly, <u>each member of the society needs to continue operating at a satisfying level and maintain their function without complaining so that Rome could flourish. </u>

What do these lines suggest about the narrator? He is disappointed that his gifts are not appreciated. He wishes he had not give
Vinvika [58]

This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Read the following passage and answer the question.

I verily believe that buttoning himself up in so downy and blanket – like a coat had a pernicious effect upon him; upon the same principle that too much oats are bad for horses. In fact, precisely as a rash, restive horse is said to feel his oats, so Turkey felt his coat. It made him insolent. He was a man whom prosperity harmed.

What do these lines suggest about the narrator?

a) He is disappointed that his gifts are not appreciated.

b) He wishes he had not given away his favorite coat.

c) He worries that his employees are suffering.

d) He feels that people should be content with what they have.

Answer:

These lines suggest:

d) He feels that people should be content with what they have.

Explanation:

In the passage we are analyzing, the narrator is visibly criticizing someone for "feeling his coat," making a pun out of the expression "to feel his oats." <u>The person he is criticizing changed while wearing what seems to be a fancy coat. This transformation is disappointing to the narrator. It shows that that person is probably greedy. Instead of being happy with what he has, Turkey seems to want more and, when he does get some more, he changes, becomes "insolent". That is clearly something that bothers the narrator.</u>

Why is Brutus honorable in Julius Caesar?
Vlad1618 [11]
Brutus wants what is best for Rome, and he kills Caesar out of <em>civic responsibility</em>, like he has too like its his job and he knows that if no one <u>kills</u> Caesar, Caesar will become tyrant of Rome and the Republic will be over. Brutus cares for Rome greatly and knows what could happen if Caesar wasn't killed. All of the other characters in the play don't act as honorably as they should and are only interested in how Caesar's death will benefit themselves and not Rome.
