Hello. You forgot to say that this question is about the article “Why Literature Matters”.
Answer:
In her article, Dana Gioia reports on the points of society that are reached by the decrease in reading among young people in the society we know. To reinforce her argument, she shows evidence of how the lack of habit of reading, any type of book, has impacted Americans not only on a personal level, but on an economic and civic level as well, since reading provides a strong knowledge in these areas. According to her, when these things are affected in an individual who is not in the habit of reading, the whole society suffers and the whole nation becomes weakened.
Answer:
King Minos was a mythical and terrible dictator of Crete who demanded the tribute of Athenian boys to feed to the Minotaur in the Labyrinth and was a judge of the Underworld, as represented in both Virgil's Aeneid and Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy narrative, the Inferno.
Shakespeare uses the bones and structure of the myth as a base for the humor of this scene. He presents the mechanicals (Bottom and Quince, etc) as bad actors who don't know their parts very well, and who also have to improvise to create different elements of the myth. The wall and the moon, for instance, are played by actors rather than just being the inanimate objects that they are in the myth. The story is the same, the plot follows the same lines, but Shakespeare uses the inefficiency and inadequacy of the actors to create more of a ridiculous and humorous tone.
