Answer:

They are passionate, but their love transgresses social boundaries.

Explanation:

This question is incomplete, so here is the full question:

"Which of the following is the best description of Catherine and Heathcliff’s love in Wuthering Heights?.

  1. Heathcliff loves Catherine all his life, though his love is unrequited.
  2. They are passionate, but their love transgresses social boundaries.
  3. Catherine is merely infatuated with Heathcliff, and her passion dies out soon.
  4. Heathcliff’s love for Catherine is outshone by Edgar Linton's."

<u>The answer is 2. They are passionate, but their love transgresses social boundaries.</u>

The reason for this is that Catherine and Heathcliff are described as coming <u>from a very different background. </u>Heathcliff is an orphan and quite possibly a member of the Roma people (considering the way his looks and speech are described), which in the England of that time meant he was of <u>the lower class.</u> He is poor, living in the Earnshaw household at the mercy of Catherin's father, with no status in the society.

Earnshaws weren't part of the elite class, but they owned the estate and had their own employees workers on it, meaning they were not working class. Therefore, Catherine's position in society is much better than Healthcliffs. <u>Catherine did not want to marry Heathcliff and chose to marry Linton to enter the higher class. </u>

<u>The ideas of classes in the society of the time are the social boundaries that prevented Healtcliff's and Catherine's passionate love. </u>

How is power developed,destroyed, and restored in Macbeth?
Savatey [412]

Answer:

Power remains one of the crucial themes of <em>Macbeth</em>. The theme of power and ambition to gain it is evident in almost all the characters in the play - but primarily Macbeth himself.

At the beginning of the play, Macbeth has enough power - he is a good, brave soldier. Upon hearing the witches' prophecy, however, he realizes that it is not enough for him to be a soldier. By blindly following the prophecy and his wife's instructions, he becomes less powerful. Both the Three witches, and Macbeth's wife, therefore, have control over his life at this point. It is Lady Macbeth that convinces Macbeth to kill Duncan in order to become a king, even though Macbeth is clearly having second thoughts about it. At this point of the play, Macbeth's wife is more decisive and powerful than him.

When Macbeth kills Duncan and becomes the new king, he does develop power, but not for long. He begins to feel guilty because of the murder he committed. This reduces his power - he becomes weak, he hallucinates, and is unable to think rationally, which leads to his death. Macbeth's character, therefore, undergoes the phases of having enough power as a soldier, having less power when listening to his wife, having more power as a king, and eventually losing all his power and dying.

It might be useful to note that other characters (Macduff and Malcolm, for instance) might not seem that powerful at the beginning of the play, but gradually gain more power. They use their power only when they have to - Macduff uses it to revenge his wife and children, murdered by Macbeth. He is wiser and more modest. At the end of the play, Macbeth dies, and Macduff and Malcolm seize power.

andreyandreev [35.5K]
The correct answer is <span>what is written in the Constitution is not open to interpretation

Strict constructionism is a way of interpreting the constitution. Constructionists only accept what is written and the way in which it was written. There is nothing beyond what is written and from his point of view, if it says that all people are equal and citizens of the United States then all people indeed, including African-Americans. For him, there is no interpretation that looks at deeper meaning, what is written is what is intended and that's why he is a strict constructionist. </span>
