WORTH 50 POINTS!!!!!!!!1 HELP!!!! DUE IN 2 HOURS!!!!!!!!!! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!!!!! NO LINKS OR YOU'LL BE REPORTED!!!!!!!!!!!
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Told in the first person by an Italian aristocrat, “The Cask of Amontillado” engages the reader by making him

or her a confidant to Montresor’s macabre tale of revenge. The victim is Fortunato, who, the narrator claims,

gave him a thousand injuries that he endured patiently, but when Fortunato dared insult him, he vowed

revenge. It must be a perfect revenge, one in which Fortunato will know fully what is happening to him and in

which Montresor will be forever undetected. To accomplish it, Montresor waits until carnival season, a time

of “supreme madness,” when Fortunato, already half-drunk and costumed as a jester, is particularly

vulnerable. Montresor then informs him that he has purchased a pipe of Amontillado wine but is not sure he

has gotten the genuine article. He should, he says, have consulted Fortunato, who prides himself on being an

expert on wine, adding that because Fortunato is engaged, he will go instead to Luchesi. Knowing his victim’s

vanity, Montresor baits him by saying that some fools argue that Luchesi’s taste is as fine as Fortunato’s. The

latter is hooked, and Montresor conducts him to his empty palazzo and leads him down into the family

catacombs, all the while plying him with drink. Through underground corridors with piles of skeletons

alternating with wine casks, Montresor leads Fortunato, whose jester’s bells jingle grotesquely in the funereal

atmosphere. In the deepest crypt there is a small recess, and there Montresor chains Fortunato to a pair of iron

staples and then begins to lay a wall of stone and mortar, with which he buries his enemy alive. While he does

so, he relishes the mental torment of his victim, whom he then leaves alone in the dark, waiting in terror for

his death.

How does greed frame motives the criminal in black peter a red headed league
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

One of the more predominant themes in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories is man versus man. 'The Red-Headed League' is no exception. In addition, one finds themes of reason and greed as Sherlock prevents another crime based on minuscule evidence.

Man Versus Man

Based on the reputation Sherlock Holmes has garnered through literature and the movies, it is hard to imagine anyone presenting him with a difficult challenge. He has shown an aptitude to solve crimes and mysteries before the clues have even been revealed. In the story 'The Red-Headed League,' Sherlock confronts an individual with whom he has 'had one or two little turns.' These previous encounters provide incentive for Sherlock to capture this villain. It also enhances the theme of man versus man.

Sherlock must prevent the antagonist, John Clay, from stealing gold bullion from 'one of the principal London banks.' With John Clay's plan already in motion, Sherlock looks for clues that will help him develop a counter move. When Sherlock finally confronts John Clay, he admits that his 'idea was very new and effective.' Clay, in turn, gives credit to Sherlock for having 'done the thing very completely. I must compliment you.' Although they go at each other as adversaries, trying to outwit the other, when their conflict is resolved, they acknowledge the other's talents. But what drives this conflict?

Greed

Greed comes in to play in the story on two different fronts. The first is with the pawnbroker, Jabez Wilson. He becomes Sherlock's client. He explains to Sherlock that he has 'a business already,' but was still enticed by earning four pounds a week to 'copy out the Encyclopedia Brittannica.' When this supposed job terminates, Vincent is upset at losing 'four pound a week.' Despite having his own business and employing an assistant, he bemoans the loss of this additional, yet minimal, income. The lure of money creates his current predicament.

John Clay, Sherlock's adversary, is motivated by illegally acquiring thousands in gold bullion. John Clay is a habitual criminal who is known for being a 'murderer, thief, smasher, and forger.' Knowing that all that gold sits unattended in the cellar of a bank is too big of a lure for a criminal such as Clay. It motivates him to contrive a plan to lure out the pawnbroker from his house so he can dig a tunnel from that basement to the bank. All in an effort to become rich. Greed motivates both characters to act in a manner that places them in some difficulty.

Man Versus Self

Sherlock is known for his adherence to, and belief in, logic. This practice is evident as he makes his observations while attempting to solve the mystery behind the red-headed league. Watson mentions to Sherlock at the conclusion of the story that he 'reasoned it out beautifully.' Watson also notes that Sherlock's 'exactness and astuteness represented. . . the reaction against the poetic and contemplative mood which occasionally predominated him.' With these words, Watson indicates that there is a conflict within Sherlock in which reason battles against his artistic nature.

In 'The Red-headed League' Sherlock attends a performance 'gently waving his long, thin fingers in time to the music.' He is enthralled by the music. It isn't until the 'lust of the chase would suddenly come upon him, and that his brilliant reasoning power would rise.' Sherlock needs cases such as this to engage his reasoning prowess. Perhaps he uses music as a means to balance the two sides of his personality, but when he goes without the mental challenge, it wears on him, and he finds life to be a bit dull and boring.

Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.
solmaris [256]

This question is missing the answer choices. I was able to find them online. They are as follows:

In the excerpt, the word "charm" is being compared with:

A. nobody

B. plain

C. laughter

D. name

Answer:

In the excerpt, the word "charm" is being compared with

D. name.

Explanation:

The excerpt we are analyzing here belongs to the epic poem "The Odyssey", by Greek poet Homer. Not much is known about Homer. It is believed that he was born between the 12th and the 18th centuries. His place of birth is also unknown.

In "The Odyssey", the epic hero Odysseus is trying to return home after fighting in the Trojan War. On his way, he and his ship crew end up in a land filled with one-eyed giants known as Cyclopes. In the passage, Odysseus has deceived a Cyclops by telling him his name was Nobody. Now that he has hurt the Cyclops, when others ask him who hurt him, all the monster can say is "Nobody hurt me."

<u>In the line "to see how like a charm the name deceived them," we have an example of simile. Simile is a figure of speech that compares two different things with the help of words such as "like" or "as". In this case, the two things being compared are "charm" and "name". The name worked like a charm to deceive the Cyclopes.</u>
