3 0

Answer:

The Ship of State is a famous and oft-cited metaphor put forth by Plato in Book VI of the Republic (488a–489d). It likens the governance of a city-state to the command of a naval vessel and ultimately argues that the only people fit to be captain of this ship (Greek: ναῦς) are philosopher kings, benevolent men with absolute power who have access to the Form of the Good. The origins of the metaphor can be traced back to the lyric poet Alcaeus (frs. 6, 208, 249), and it is found in Sophocles' Antigone and Aeschylus' Seven Against Thebes before Plato.

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Hamlet and pyrrhus are alike because they both want revenge for the death of their fathers but they are unlike too because pyrrhus seeks revenge and he is remorseless but Hamlet on the otherhand, find it hard summoning the courage to kill his uncle.

Explanation:

Pyrrhus doesnt have remorse about killing Priam because he sees it as an eye for an eye justice. This is in contrast to Hamlet who feels that if he can have courage to kill his uncle will justify everything.

Unlike pyrrhus, Hamlet pretends to be insane so people will see him as unserious and thus confirm the fact that his uncle killed his father. and in the course plans to murder his uncle. but pyrrhus is in trogan house to get access to priam and deal him justice by stealth. pyrrhus is more courageous but Hamlet is not a man of violent actions.

<h3>What is a literary analysis?</h3>

A literary analysis is more than just a synopsis of a piece of literature. Instead, it is a discussion of the work that expresses a writer's personal viewpoint, interpretation, judgment, or critical appraisal of the work of literature.

It is to be noted that like every other essay, it must be structed into three key parts:

  • The introduction
  • Body; and
  • Conclusion.
