Excerpt from A Defence of Skeletons

English
2 answers:
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]3 years ago

Answer:

C, He maintains that the fear of death and skeletons is irrational and should be conquered.

Explanation:

Here is what in the text makes me believe this.

  • "So he is <em>mysteriously</em> ashamed of the skeleton of himself in death." He finds it mysterious to why people are ashamed or afraid of skeletons.
  • "One would think it would be most unwise in a man to be afraid of a skeleton..." His reflection upon the fear of skeletons.
  • "A man might as well say that a factory chimney was typical of bankruptcy." I interpret this as making fun of the fear of skeletons.
  • "There is no reason why this creature... the living skeleton, should not become the essential symbol of life." I think he's proclaiming that skeletons deserve more credit.

Hopefully this helps. Sorry my response was so long. Good luck.

After putting Madeline in the vault, Usher’s madness begins to increase. Why does he get so much worse?
Svetradugi [14.3K]
Usher's madness begins to increase because he can hear the sound of Madeline below.
Even though his sister is buried in the basement, he can constantly hear her scratching her coffin. He was tortured by these sounds until the protagonist came to visit him so he could share his troubles with him. Usher is afraid of his 'undead' sister and of dying himself, which is why he grows crazier and crazier by the day, until he is finally killed by his own sister in the end.
