Which text in this excerpt from William Dean Howells's "Editha" exposes the author’s opposition to conventional ideas of patriot

ism? "No, you didn't expect him to get killed," Mrs. Gearson repeated in a voice which was startlingly like George's again. "You just expected him to kill someone else, some of those foreigners, that weren't there because they had any say about it, but because they had to be there, poor wretches—conscripts, or whatever they call 'em. You thought it would be all right for my George, your George, to kill the sons of those miserable mothers and the husbands of those girls that you would never see the faces of." The woman lifted her powerful voice in a psalm-like note. "I thank my God he didn't live to do it! I thank my God they killed him first, and that he ain't livin' with their blood on his hands!" She dropped her eyes which she had raised with her voice, and glared at Editha. "What you got that black on for?" She lifted herself by her powerful arms so high that her helpless body seemed to hang limp its full length. "Take it off, take it off, before I tear it from your back!"

When Hamlet says “A little more than kin and less than kind.” What is being said?
frez [133]

<u>Answer:</u>

  • ‘Hamlet’ is one of the play by William Shakespeare. The play is about the prince Hamlet and his revenge against Claudius who’s Hamlet’s uncle.
  • In the play, Hamlet addresses his uncle as ‘A little more than kin and less than kind.’ When Hamlet says ‘A little more than kin’ he means that his uncle Claudius is now not just his uncle, but his step father as well simply because he married Hamlet’s mother.
  • ‘Less than kind’ means that although Claudius is now Hamlet’s stepfather, he is less than kind because of the fact that he briskly married his mother and it was because of Claudius that Hamlet’s father died.

How does the creation of the four hundred list contribute to the idea of keeping up with the joneses
Ierofanga [76]
"The Four Hundred" list was a phrase coined by Ward McAllister, a rich New Yorker who thought that there were exactly 400 people in New York who mattered. This elite was strictly limited, in his opinion, which means that people within this circle held up to each other, disregarding the outside world and always trying to become better than the neighbor: they wanted to spend more, live in bigger homes, have more expensive cars, all in hope to better show off their top position on the social ladder.
