English

grigory [225]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:As the gentle, selfless patriarch of the Hamilton family, Samuel stands in sharp contrast to Cyrus, the dishonest patriarch of the Trask family. Whereas Cyrus introduces a legacy of sin into his family by passing down a stolen inheritance, the good-natured Samuel—who, notably, never is wealthy—passes down an inheritance of close familial love and devotion. Like the biblical Samuel, who was a prophet, Samuel Hamilton displays intuition and foresight and often tells Adam Trask truths that are difficult to hear. Samuel sees through Cathy immediately and is chilled by her inhumanity and Adam’s ignorance of it. After the twins are born and Cathy flees, Samuel counsels Adam and helps him overcome his melancholy. Although Samuel is not a violent man, he reluctantly resorts to force in order to jolt Adam out of his stupor and to convince Adam to give the boys names, which they go without for more than a year. Later, shortly before he dies of old age, Samuel tells Adam the difficult truth that Cathy is still living in Salinas and working at a brothel. Although this revelation causes Adam pain, it ultimately enables him to confront the reality of Cathy’s evil and escape from her power.

How does Longfellow incorporate elements of the story of Sampson in "The Warning"?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Lonfellow slowly incorporates details of Samson's story, so that the reader can guess who the main character of the poem is. Only at the end does Samson's name appear, revealing the real identity of the slave.

Firstly, Longfellow calls the man the "Israelite of old". This is the first reference to Samson, who was the last of the judges of the ancient Israelites mentioned in the Book of Judges in the Hebrew Bible. Then, immediately, he writes "who tore the lion in his path". This was one of Samson's heroic actions for which he was known.

Later he refers to him as being "poor and blind". In his story, Samson's lover, Delilah, betrayed him by sending a Philistine enemy to cut his hair. This man also gauged Samson's eyes, leaving him blind. After this, Samson was "led forth to be  apander to Philistine revelry" since he was taken prisoner and taken to Philistine.

Then Longfellow explains that this man destroyed the place where he was being held. It is said that Samsom prayed to God and recovered his strenght, with which he could tear down the collums of his prison, killing himself and everybody else.
