Sloan [31]

Answer:

Heathcliff

Explanation:

Heathcliff is the central character in the novel Wuthering Height. This evil character fetches readers' sympathy when he is brought as an orphan to Wuthering Heights by Mr. Earnshaw. Readers like the love between Heathcliff and Catherine which her brother doesn't like at all. As Mr. Ernshaw dies, the abuse of Heathcliff by Hindley begins. Albeit Catherine loves this man with 'black eyes', she succumbs to social tradition by marrying with Edgar Linton. Now Heathcliff is a heart-broken Byronic hero whom readers love to show sympathy. His humiliations and mysteries while Catherine was unmarried fetches lots of sympathy for him.

But then the marriage of Catherine reveals the evil in Heathcliff. He becomes cruel exhibiting a frustration due to his lost love mixed with his past abuses. By his sheer power, Heathcliff becomes the master of Wuthering Heights, successful in harassing Hindley and abuses Isabella.

The readers are shocked at Heathcliff's violent tempers, yet sympathize with him for his hapless childhood when he is tyrannized by Hindley. In power, Heathcliff wishes to pay his tormentors in the same way. We hate Heathcliff's violence but we sympathize with his traumatic condition.

Which best explains why the author uses the word “flanked” to describe the layout of cottages in the novel’s setting? to help th
tiny-mole [99]

The answer is to help the reader visualize a house bordered by smaller cottages

<em>He was spending his summer vacation, as he always did, with his mother at Grand Isle. In former times, before Robert could remember, "the house" had been a summer luxury of the Lebruns. Now, flanked by its dozen or more cottages, which were always filled with exclusive visitors from the "Quartier Français," it enabled Madame Lebrun to maintain the easy and comfortable existence which appeared to be her birthright.</em>

The author uses the word <u>flanked</u> meaning, according to Cambridge<em> "to be at the side of someone or something"</em> to let the reader imagine a large, luxurious and expensive house surrounded by small cottages but equally important since they were exclusive to the inhabitants of the French quarter.

If my answer helped you please give me 5 stars and better answer. Thank you.

What does Jefferson state directly as the reason the Declaration of Independence had to be written?
Aneli [31]
In the Summary Review of the Rights of British America Jefferson sets out many reasons for the necessity of a declaration of independence among which are the despotism of the British crown under George III in preventing the inhabitants of the 13 colonies from the pursuit of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness". Also, the colonies had written the king several times about the necessity of redress for their grievances but had never received a response. Also, being a colony of Great Britain, free trade with other countries was not allowed.
