In Langston Hughes's poem "Justice," what is Justice a symbol of?

English
2 answers:
Hoochie [10]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

C. the justice system skewed against African Americans.

Explanation:

Here's the poem:

That Justice is a blind goddess

Is a thing to which <u>we black are wise</u>:

Her bandage hides two festering sores

That once perhaps were eyes.

Notice how Hughes writes that "we black are wise." This implies that the justice he speaks of (which is referred to as a "her" throuhgout the poem) is "blind" when it comes to the struggles of African Americans.

Choice A is incorrect because the poem clearly implies that the justice system is biased against blacks.

Choice B is incorrect because the poem calls justice "blind," which implies that she is flawed.

Choice D is incorrect because there is no mention of "human rights" or not caring." Justice is described as being "blind" which does not imply either.

Why do Ariel and the other sylphs abandon Belinda?
Kazeer [188]

The correct answer is "They recognize that she loves a human man".

Ariel and the others slyphs leave Belinda behind once they find out that she has feelings for a human male. Ariel is able to see Belinda's desire to be with this man by penetrating deep into her mind. T<u>hey are afraid that Belinda is going to lose her powers, since the slyphs will only protect her for as long as she rejects her involvement with the human race</u>, which she was no longer able to do because of her romantic feelings for a man.

Hope this is helpful to you!
