From the poem Ithaka, ''What does the speaker say will make the traveler wealthy?''

English
1 answer:
Fantom [35]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The speaker says that the experience of going through the long journey will make the traveler wealthy.

Explanation:

Constantine Cavafy's poem "Ithaka" is an allegorical poem about the journey of Odysseus and his decade-long journey to get back home to Ithaca. The poem draws inspiration and alludes to that epic journey, but talks more in a generalized sense of getting knowledge through the journey.

The speaker "advises" that every man must go through a journey like Odysseus in order to get to one's own <em>"Ithaka"</em> or in this sense, one's life end or goal.<em> "Ithaka"</em> here is a metaphor for the personal goal of a person/ individual. And to him, the lifelong travel through numerous 'obstacles', the memories, the experience of the journey will make the traveler wealthy.

<em>Wise as you will have become, so full of experience, </em>

<em>you will have understood by then what these Ithakas mean.</em>

According to the poet, <u>it is not the physical wealth that will make the traveler rich but rather the experiences and life lessons he will have learned along the way, that will make him wealthy.</u>

In what ways does Andrew provide a contrast to Robert in Eugene O'Neill's Beyond the Horizon?
Over [174]

Answer:

The main contrasts between Andrew and Robert are presented with the help of these attributes of their characters.

<em>Andrew is content to stay on the family farm, while Robert dreams of traveling.</em>

                                                       and

<em>Andrew enjoys working the land when Robert prefers reading and thoughts of adventure.</em>

Explanation:

Andrew and Robert are two brothers in Eugene O'Neill's play "Beyond the Horizon"

They are very similar in some attribute, while in some other attributes, they are at opposite poles from each other.

Andrew is described as on who has much interest in the fields, he takes all the pain to keep family's farm and fields in good shape. Robert, on the other hand, is totally indifferent to what is happening at farm and fields. He is characterized as having a poetic and delicate nature - reading books, and thinking about adventurous journeys occupy much of his time.

There is no contrast between Andrew and Robert on the bases of caring for their family. They both care much for their family.

Andrew is not resentful about Robert leaving the farm. He just says that everyone at farm including Andrew himself will miss him a lot.
