Natali [406]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

In Oedipus the King, Sophocles uses blindness and sight as metaphors. Tiresias a physically blind man has a clearer vision than the king Oedipus. Tiresias states "So, you mock my blindness? Let me tell you this, you with your precious eyes, you’re blind to the corruption of your life, to the house you live in, those you live with” (Sophocles 470-475). Blindness is used as a metaphor for the loss of identity, power, and hope. Meanwhile, a clear vision is used as a metaphor for knowledge and insight. The protagonist Oedipus is "Blind" "You have not the truth. You’re blind. Blind in your eyes. Blind in your ears. Blind in your mind” (Sophocles 40). The truth holds power, a power only those with clear sight can see, in the end, Oedipus’s downfall is his blindness, and he ends up being powerless. ok all good please give brailiest :)

Please help me choose the subject and theme of this excerpt
Kruka [31]
The child is not kind. I wouldn't choose A. By that I mean that the child is not kind by nature.

He did not receive the dog as a gift from his father. That eliminates E.

The subject therefore is the dog was taken into a very abusive home.

The theme is the 4th one down. Those who are abused will abuse something or someone weaker than themselves. No where do we get the idea that the child is empathetic. The dog amuses him, nothing more.

What’s a thesis statement for a windstorm in the forest
IceJOKER [234]
A good one is In A Wind Storm in the Forests, John Muir uses descriptive language to bring out the full beauty of the winds. He does this by appealing to the senses. Particularly, sight and sound are emphasized in this passage. He attempts to make the readers truly appreciate the subtle miracles present when the winds are at play.

Scene 2 Polonius insists that Hamlet is in love with Ophelia.<br> What does Polonius hope to gain?
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Polonius reads the love letter aloud to Gertrude and Claudius for two reasons:

He wants to show that he is a loyal subject, and that he's not trying to get his daughter together with Hamlet—Hamlet, being a royal, won't get much advantage from marrying the daughter of a mere noble. If he reveals the message to them directly, they'll know he is "a man faithful and honorable," as Claudius says.

He wants to get credit for being the one to know why Hamlet is mad. Once he reads the letter, he uses it to explain how Hamlet became mad: "he, repelled...Fell into a sadness, then into a fast...and, by declension / Into the madness wherein now he raves." Claudius was very eager to find out why Hamlet was mad, so being able to give an explanation makes Polonius look good.

His plans after reading the letter are to show the king directly that love is the cause of Hamlet's madness by taking the king to observe a conversation between Ophelia and Hamlet. As it turns out, Hamlet is very mean to Ophelia during this conversation, and the King concludes that he is not in love: "Love? His affections do not that way tend." So Polonius's plan doesn't really succeed.
