Question 8 (5 points) (LC) Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. Tom Stoppard's play, Rosencrantz and

Guildenstern Are Dead, draws on two previous theatrical works: Shakespeare's Hamlet and Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead follows the "off-stage" exploits of two minor characters from Hamlet, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. While the two main characters in Stoppard's play occasionally make brief appearances in "Hamlet," as scripted in Shakespeare's original tragedy, the majority of the play takes place in other parts of the castle where Hamlet is set. While "off stage" in this way, the characters resemble the main characters in the absurdist Waiting for Godot. As in Beckett's play, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern pass the time by impersonating other characters, engaging in word play, and remaining silent for long periods of time. These same two characters were also featured in a parody of Hamlet, the short comic play by W. S. Gilbert entitled Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Gilbert's play makes Rosencrantz and Guildenstern into central characters and alters the storyline of Hamlet: The author of this passage chooses to describe four different playwrights in order to (5 points) са convince the reader that one playwright is more talented than another Ob instruct the reader about the least successful adaptations of Shakespeare inform the reader of many different interpretations of the same two characters Od distract the reader from the true message of Shakespeare's tragic play Question 9 (5 points)​

What can you understand about Greek cultural values based on the portrayal and characterization of Polyphemus? What is being sai
Advocard [28]

Answer and Explanation:

The representation and characterization of Polyphemus features a monster that lives in caves. This was very common in Greek culture, to believe that monstrous and dangerous creatures were hidden in antiquity, in the seas and in caves, as they would be fought if they lived in the midst of civilization. As a monstrous Greek creature, Polyphemus is ferocious, bloodthirsty and strong, acting violently against human beings.

He is also unintelligent, easily falling into Odysseus' trap.

This shows that the Greek people, even fearing and recognizing their disadvantages in relation to monsters, believed that wisdom had reasoning as an advantage that would allow them to survive.
