The answer is: a heavenly muse.

John Milton follows in the tradition of other great philosophers, who, after Parmenides of Elea (who at the beginning of his poem, <em>On Nature, </em>is escorted by the daughters of the Sun, the god Helios, in the pursuit of his difficult journey) raise their voice to the heavens and the gods in order to request their assistance in tackling such a burdensome and difficult enterprise, which is the pursuit of knowledge about difficult, obscure or challenging topics. In the case of Milton, he asks, in his epic poem, <em>Paradise Lost, </em>for the assistance of a heavenly muse in order to explain the problem of evil and suffering and why God would allow them.

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

The woman sees herself as a terrible fish because her younger self is drowning and disappearing as she is getting older. Which is why this is a great form of imagery because the reader can see a terrible fish drowning just like her younger self is drowning in her new body. I believe that she chose to compare herself to a fish because she feels that she is aging fast and ultimately nearing death.

Explanation:

The woman sees herself as a terrible fish because her younger self is drowning and disappearing as she is getting older. Which is why this is a great form of imagery because the reader can see a terrible fish drowning just like her younger self is drowning in her new body. I believe that she chose to compare herself to a fish because she feels that she is aging fast and ultimately nearing death.

The mirror explains, in the final lines, "In me she has drowned a young girl, and in me an old woman / Rises toward her day after day, like a terrible fish."

The woman was said to have awatched as her youth slowly disappear or fade over the years of looking into the same mirror, which is why the mirror interprets that as a kind of "drowning" of the woman's youth. While te "terrible fish," then, is the specter of old age, the total loss of youth and vitality.

Make an inference about Friar Laurence and Romeo’s relationship, and compare it to the nurse and Juliet’s relationship. Write th
iren [92.7K]
Although Friar Laurence is different from the nurse in terms of personality and how he holds himself, both he and the nurse are similar with their relationships with Romeo and Juliet. With Friar Laurence and Romeo, Romeo relies on Friar Laurence not to tell anyone about him and Juliet, and further asks him to participate by wedding them. This is similar to Juliet and the nurse because the nurse is also aware of Romeo and Juliet’s relationship, but doesn’t tell anyone, and further participated by hiding their relationship and covering for Juliet. One more similarity is that FL and Romeo both rely on each not to reveal R&J’s relationship, because although the Friar is not apart of the relationship, if it were to be revealed, so would the Friar’s participation in it, and the same goes for Juliet and the nurse.
