Question

Select the correct answers. The character Peyton Farquhar in Ambrose Bierce's "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" possesses characteristics most closely related to which literary movements? (Choose two)

Answer 1

Answer:

He presents characteristics related to romanticism and realism.

Explanation:

Although these two literary movements are the opposite of each other, Peyton has the capacity to present characteristics that are related to the two movements. This is because although he has a strong emotional and social and introspective sense about himself, he also shows an externalized view on the environment around him, not fitting pre-established rules and with a strong will to bring about change.
