Answer:

Oedipus is intensely angry when he kills his biological father and when he fights with Creon and Teiresias for giving him bad news.

Explanation:

Oedipus has difficulties in controlling his emotions, especially anger. That's because he is a person with an explosive temperament, who can't handle solving intrigues with ease and who expresses himself with violence. This personality trait not only leaves Oedipus a very intense character, but also leaves him a real person who often does not act rationally, being totally controlled by anger, leaving his story totally unpredictable.

Oedipus' anger may be exaggerated for us, but it was a common feature for the Greek society that created this play. That's because the Greeks at that time lived in a very violent time with several invasions and stress. Watching a character unleash his anger in a grandiose way could be somewhat comfortable for the Greeks.

1. Does the poem exhibit the speaker's love for her father or her hatred of him? Explain. 2. What type of man does the speaker m
kkurt [141]

Answers:

1. The poem exhibits the speaker's hatred for the father: Lines 6, 7, 41 revealed that she had wanted to kill her father and was always scared of him. She won't want to kill someone she loved. So, the poem depicted hatred for the father. In lines 1-4 the poet compares herself to a foot that was stuck in her father's black shoe. She makes use of this imagery to imply and explain how she has been crushed by her father emotionally for 30 years.

2. She married a man who was just like her father. She termed the man - a vampire who made her to suffer for seven years. The man brought back the memories of what she passed through in the hands of her father.

3. She characterized them as vampires.The "Daddy" of the last line refers to her father as a "b***". At the close of the poem, she decides to stop chasing her father.

4. The title "Daddy" possesses an intimate and loving emotional connection, a father-daughter association. But that kind of association was contradicted in the poem but rather depicted a tyrant father.

5. No! This is because the poem didn't depict any form of forgiveness. It was written out of a battered, bruised and betrayed heart and didn't depict the need for true forgiveness.

Explanation:

“Daddy”, a poem written by Sylvia Plath. Plath was a famous American poet and novelist who wrote ‘Daddy’, a very famous literary piece. This poem speaks about her father and her ordeal in his hands.  It also presents the speaker’s grief over the loss of her father. It was first published in 1965.

What is the definition of the word incredulous, based on its parts?
oksano4ka [1.4K]

The meaning of the word incredulous, based on its parts is: "full of disbelief".

The prefix in- is one of the many prefixes that mean "no". So it denies the meaning of the word following it. One example would be the word inefficient. By adding the prefix in- to the adjective efficient, we deny the adjective. If we call a person inefficient, we are saying the person is "not efficient", not able to finish tasks in a proper time and manner.

As for the other part of the word we're analyzing here, "credulous" comes from the Latin word "credere", which means "believe". A credulous person is a person who believes in things easily, without questioning or reasoning.

By putting in- and credulous together, we form "incredulous", or "not credulous". So an incredulous person is a person who does not believe easily - who is full of disbelief.
