What was the great chain of being

English
2 answers:
IgorC [24]3 years ago

The chain of being is composed of a great number of hierarchical links, from the most basic and foundational elements up through the very highest perfection, in other words, God. God sits at the top of the chain, and beneath him sit the angels, both existing wholly in spirit form.
Hope that helps.

The great chain of being is a strict, religious hierarchical structure of all matter and life, believed to have been decreed by God. The chain starts from God and progresses downward to angels, demons (fallen/renegade angels), stars, moon, kings, princes, nobles, commoners, wild animals, domesticated animals, trees, other plants, precious stones, precious metals, and other minerals.

Read this passage:
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Explanation:

There is a whole lot going on in this scene, but I think there are 2 things you should keep in mind:

  • The power is shifting. Macbeth no longer needs Lady Macbeth to goad him on. He is hiding from her a key piece of this thinking. The first lines of the speech tell you that. Be innocent of the knowledge, Till thou (can) applaud the deed. He is planning the murder of Banquo and he really doesn't want her input. He is telling her that she must wait till the murder is done and then what he has been doing will be apparent. Everybody comments on those lines because it is a foreshadow of many things to come. One of the most obvious is Lady Macbeth's madness.
  • The rest of the speech has to do with his walk in the path of evil. He prefers night to day, because all is hidden by night.

statuscvo [17]
Because this story took place in a time where women and men weren't equal. So people would often identify women using their husbands last name.

Well...it might be that old "supply and demand" factor. As one example: a corporation/rancher/farmer might have the "demand" and the immigrant might have the "supply."

Why might the poem be titled “Full Powers”? What is the source of the speaker's creative powers?
STatiana [176]

The source of the speaker's creative powers comes from the beauty of the world that the poet had witnessed.

<u>Explanation:</u>

"Full Powers" is a Latin poem written by Pablo Neruda which was translated by Ben Belitt and Alastair Reid.

Pablo Neruda titled the poem "Full Powers" to demonstrate the civic life and the power of the politicians and the need of objectifying their domination. The source of the speaker's creative powers comes from the beauty of the world that the poet had witnessed.

He is put in confusion of what life really is and the existence of linguistic habits and the facade kindness of the politicians. He tries to break the political struggle through the poem, "Full Powers".
