As with the Iliad, the poem is divided into 24 books. It follows the Greek hero Odysseus, king of Ithaca, and his journey home after the Trojan War. After the war itself, which lasted ten years, his journey lasts for ten additional years, during which time he encounters many perils and all his crewmates are killed. In his absence, Odysseus is assumed dead, and his wife Penelope and son Telemachus must contend with a group of unruly suitors who compete for Penelope's hand in marriage.

nalin [4]

Answer:

The guards character in the play "Antigone" by Sophocles are indifferent, They are eternally indifferent and ready to serve.

Explanation:

The guards follow orders and are indifferent as well as innocent. Which means they can serve any power that be and have no particular loyalty to Creaon.

When the chorus notes that the tragedy is "no skin of their backs", the indifferent trio remembers the guardsmen from Anouilh's other tragedies like the guards whose chatter about the harvest close his medea. The chorus made this clear in the prologue and epilogue.

Both ""Of Revenge"" and ""The Cask of Amontillado"" focus on the idea of revenge. How does revenge fit into Zimbardo’s argument

seropon [69]

Answer and Explanation:

1. Revenge is a feeling created out of a grotesque and disadvantageous situation. This fits Ximbardo's argument about why good people do bad things, because he said that it is grotesque and environmentally bad situations that promote the evil of human beings. So we can conclude that revenge is the result of an evil and disadvantageous environment that makes good people want to cause harm to other people who have hurt them in some way.

2. These two texts can contribute to Zimbardo's research, as they reinforce the idea that something must happen in order for human evil to be expressed. In addition, they reinforce the idea that the human being is evil by nature, but they need a trigger for this evil to be "justified".
