Which lines from Ovid’s "Pyramus and Thisbe" contain an example of characterization?

English
1 answer:
o-na [289]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

If you searched all  the East, you'd find no girl with greater charm  than Thisbe;

Explanation:

Characterization is the description or representation of the characters in a narrative. This description of the characters in a story can be direct or indirect. Direct characterization is used in the description of Thisbe above because the poet plainly tells us that Thisbe was a girl with great charm. Readers do not have to wonder or think about Thisbe and who she really was because her character was explicitly described.

Indirect characterization allows readers to deduce the true personality of characters from the context of the story.

An important aspect of a theme is that it is "universal" which means it can be applied beyond the story itself. Compare and cont
Alenkasestr [34]

The story “Mercury and the Workmen,” a famous Greek fable, deals with the topic of honesty. In the story, the honest man is rewarded, and the dishonest one punished, highlighting the importance of honesty and the benefits it can bring. This theme is universal, as honesty is appreciated everywhere in the world. This moral therefore is relevant for a wide range of stories and situations beyond the Greek story itself.

Another famous story that gives a lesson on the importance of honesty is “The Necklace” by Guy de Maupassant. There are several similarities between both stories. In both cases, dishonesty is punished, and the dishonest characters end up worse than they would have been if they had not attempted to tell a lie. However, they are different in that in the Greek story, it is Mercury who punishes the liar, while in the French story the consequences are brought about by fate. Also, the motivation to lie in the first story is greed, while in the second one it is a desire for recognition and status. Both stories are good examples of this universal theme.

This should be an alliteration if you are referring to the literary device that is used. Glorious, geats, and god, all begin with G which means that this is an example of alliteration.
