Major Kovaloff believes that witchcraft is what took his nose.

He knows a woman that wanted to marry her daughter to him, but he had often rejected. He thinks that to get her revenge, she "must have hired some witches to spirit it away," which is the only way he could think his nose could have possibly disappeared.

In "The Nose" by Gogol, the protagonist wakes up to realize that his nose is gone. Major Kovaloff cannot explain this to himself, and he is extremely confused and embarrased. He eventually reaches the conclusion that the nose must have left his face due to witchcraft, and he attributes this witchcraft to the mother of a girl he knows. He has been flirting with this girl for a while without proposing, and he assumes that this has infuriated the mother. However, when he contacts her, the mother denies any involvement.

Calypso asks Odysseus, "If I told you that there's heartbreak and shipwreck in store," asks the goddess, "would you trade immort

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Calypso is warning Odysseus against returning home for it will only bring pain and suffering for him. Also, she is indirectly offering him to stay on her island and be made immortal.

Explanation:

Homer's The Odyssey revolves around the journey of Odysseus and his men after the Trojan War. The journey back to their home in Ithaca is not a smooth one though, for they encountered numerous obstacles on the way.

In Book V, Zeus had sent Hermes to tell Calypso to release Odysseus from being held captive in her island and let him go home. Though angered that she is not allowed to keep her mortal, she had to obey the orders of the highest and strongest of the gods. Once Hermes had gone, Calypso told Odysseus that he must start preparing for his journey home. But she warned him that "there's heartbreak and shipwreck in store" for him when he gets home. This warning is a sort of invitation to Odysseus to stay with her and be made immortal but Odysseus declined, stating that he'd prefer to be at home with his wife Penelope and grow old.

In ancient Greek society, home and one's own family are the most important things in their lives. No matter what they may have done or gone to, the feeling of being back home amongst one's loved ones compels them to return home, no matter the difficulty of the obstacles. Despite Calypso's warning of pain and suffering on his return home, Odysseus declined the offer to be immortal and enjoy life on the island with Calypso.

I believe it implies that King Shield Sheafson, was a good king for the Spear Danes, both being fierce and heroic caused them to be victorious in battles. The opposing tribes viewed Sheafson as evil and a destroyer of their homes. Basically to the Danes, Sheafson is a vision of what is good, to other tribes he is a vision of what is evil.

Which of these lines provides important information for the rising action of the play? (10 points)

Alika [10]

The correct answer is the last option - O Banquo, Banquo! Our loyal master's murder'd! This is the line that provides important information for the rising action of the play. This is what actually drives all subsequent events to play out - Macbeth started his rise to kingdom when he killed Banquo. Later on he moved on to kill the king himself - when he killed Duncan, he became the next king. But his murder of Banquo started it all - he kept seeing the ghost of Banquo everywhere he went, because his guilt was tearing him apart.
