PLATO Answer:

Della's financial situation constrains her, but her selflessness helps her overcome that constraint. She loves and understands Jim well because she knows that the best Christmas gift for him would be the chain for his prized pocket watch:

It was even worthy of The Watch. As soon as she saw it she knew that it must be Jim's. It was like him. Quietness and value—the description applied to both. Twenty-one dollars they took from her for it, and she hurried home with the 87 cents. With that chain on his watch Jim might be properly anxious about the time in any company.

The strength of Della's love and her willingness to sacrifice for him is clearly demonstrated when she cuts off her hair to buy the chain. Her hair is something she values, and sacrificing it possibly made her undergo an internal conflict:

So now Della's beautiful hair fell about her rippling and shining like a cascade of brown waters. It reached below her knee and made itself almost a garment for her. And then she did it up again nervously and quickly. Once she faltered for a minute and stood still while a tear or two splashed on the worn red carpet.

Answer: Well I feel like Della is crazy for cutting her hair.

Explanation: Well why would you cut your hair for a gift? I'm guessing that her relationship is that she's his crazy ex-girlfriend! Her conflicts could have been because they broke up? Her trait would be, crazy, insane, out of her mind...

Based on his initial descriptions, how does Marlow’s realization that the “cannibals” are “not inhuman” conflict with the job he
Naddika [18.5K]

Marlow's job was to help promote imperialism, however, when he discovers that cannibals are not inhumane, he begins to see that imperialism is not a necessary measure and this makes him conflict with what he believed.

Although you haven't shown it, we can see that this question refers to "Heart of Darkness."

Based on this, we can obtain the following information:

  • Marlow is the protagonist of the story.
  • He is a sailor and works to promote European imperialism in regions around the world.
  • He was taught that imperialism was a good thing that promoted order and civility in regions full of violence, cannibalism, people who didn't even look human.
  • However, when he arrived in these regions he realized that the imperialist concepts were incorrect.
  • The "cannibals," as they were called, were human and did not look like the portrait created of them by the imperialists.

In this case, he came into conflict with his thoughts and realized that his work was established as an abuse of foreign people and not as something good, as he had been taught.
