This passage illustrates how Vermeer slowly draws Griet into his world of art and painting and how she becomes fascinated with all the images of the women in domestic settings. Griet analyzes the painting and feels as if she is a part of the picture and even shows envy towards the woman depicted. There is a simile in the passage where she compares a star in the night sky to the painting. She analyzed the painting so deeply that she felt as if it was suddenly disappearing. This painting allows Griet to imagine her life differently more prestigious and luxurious than the one that she is destined to have. The lack of wealth in her life and her contact with Vermeer’s paintings put her in a position where she becomes aspiring and even resentful.

What is the effect of the metaphor in the poem "Can't" by Edgar Guest?

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

The effect of the metaphor in the poem "Can't" by Edgar Guest is that it helps the reader understand the relationship between self-doubt and failure.

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Guest newly defines the word “can’t.” He calls it the father of feeble endeavour. He also addresses it as a parent of terror and half-hearted work. Can’t is the word that starts with self-doubt which leads to failure. Can’t means to give up. This is what the metaphor is trying to explain to the readers. It clearly aids us to understand the failure and the self-doubt present within ours.

In this excerpt from act I, scene II, of Macbeth, what can be inferred from Banquo’s response to the witches’ prophecy? BANQUO:

Mnenie [13.5K]

I believe the correct answer is 1-Banquo is wise enough to understand that the witches represent evil.
The witches have prophesied that his children would be rulers, and even though he would like that to happen, he understands that the witches are evil and should not be trusted. He also saw that Macbeth believes them completely which unfortunately led him to his demise.

in human society there are some things men are allowed to do and women aren't, it's also the other way, women do it, it's fine but if the men does it he's punished.

Double standards are bad for both genders because it seems as if though there are trying to put up the other gender while putting the other one down.
