Read the passage from "Marriage Is a Private Affair" by Chinua Achebe. In this excerpt, Nnaemeka is the first to speak, and Okek

e speaks after him. "I can’t—we must—I mean it is impossible for me to marry Nweke’s daughter.” "Impossible? Why?” asked his father. "I don’t love her.” "Nobody said you did. Why should you?” he asked. "Marriage today is different . . .” "Look here, my son,” interrupted his father, "nothing is different. What one looks for in a wife are a good character and a Christian background.” Nnaemeka saw there was no hope along the present line of argument. How could the characters’ differing views of arranged marriage be analyzed from a historical perspective and from a feminist perspective? A historical perspective would focus on arranged marriage being part of the culture at the time the story is set. A feminist perspective would focus on how arranged marriages took choice away from women. A feminist perspective would focus on arranged marriage being part of the culture at the time the author wrote. A historical perspective would focus on how arranged marriages took choice away from women. A historical perspective would focus on how the story would be different if it were written by an author of a different gender. A feminist perspective would focus on how the characters interact. A feminist perspective would focus on the biography of the author. A historical perspective would focus on the power dynamics between characters.

Answer:

The correct answer choice from the options here, to answer the question: How could the characters´ differing views of arranged marriage be analyzed from a historical perspective and from a feminist perspective?, would be: A historical perspective would focus on arranged marriage being part of the culture at the time the story is set. A feminist perspective would focus on how arranged marriages took choice away from women.

Explanation:

Historical perspective takes care of how historical events, historical background, including factors such as culture, affect the development of those events. The feminist perspecive, rather studies how different situations, both historical and otherwise, have affected women negatively throughout cultures, traditions, history and religions. In this case, the correct answer is the first one because the historical perspective would look at the event being narrated in the story of "Marriage is a Private Affair", evaluate when such a thing took place and where and then it would see that in the particular culture and time at which the story takes place, such an event as arranged marriages was normal, and even acceptable. But the feminist perspective would not care about traditions, beliefs, or cultural and historical background. It would simply see that arranged marriages undermined the rights of women by limiting, or completely obliterating, their choice.

What happened in act 3 scene 5 of romeo and juliet?
Marina86 [1]
Just before dawn, Romeo<span> prepares to lower himself from </span>Juliet<span>’s window to begin his exile. Juliet tries to convince Romeo that the birdcalls they hear are from the nightingale, a night bird, rather than from the lark, a morning bird. Romeo cannot entertain her claims; he must leave before the morning comes or be put to death. Juliet declares that the light outside comes not from the sun, but from some meteor. Overcome by love, Romeo responds that he will stay with Juliet, and that he does not care whether the Prince’s men kill him. Faced with this turnaround, Juliet declares that the bird they heard was the lark; that it is dawn and he must flee. The Nurse enters to warn Juliet that Lady Capulet is approaching. Romeo and Juliet tearfully part. Romeo climbs out the window. Standing in the orchard below her window, Romeo promises Juliet that they will see one another again, but Juliet responds that he appears pale, as one dead in the bottom of a tomb. Romeo answers that, to him, she appears the same way, and that it is only sorrow that makes them both look pale. Romeo hurries away as Juliet pulls in the ladder and begs fate to bring him back to her quickly.</span>

bija089 [108]

The correct answer is C. "A grumpy old donkey hides his money away and ignores his starving neighbor's pleas for food". Parables are not a complete representation of truth that equally apply to all aspects of a story in a completely comprehensive way.
