Answer:
Montresor plots his revenge upon Fortunato carefully, as he tells the reader in the story. He must "not only punish but punish with impunity;" yet Montresor also recognizes that his satisfaction will be complete only if the murder is undetected and he remains free of incarceration. First, Montresor chooses "the supreme madness of the carnival season" as the backdrop for his plan. He gives no clue to Fortunato that there is even a problem between the two men: Though Montresor claims Fortunato to be his sworn enemy, Fortunato does not seem aware of this, and Montresor continues to "smile in his face" whenever the two men meet. He eliminates the possibility of his own servants as possible witnesses by deliberately lying to them
Explanation:
In Hamlet, Claudius has killed the king (his brother and Hamlet's father). It isn't long before Hamlet knows that "something is rotten" and realizes that has happened. Claudius knows that Hamlet is aware of what he has done. As a result, Claudius knows he has to get rid of Hamlet.
At this point in the play, Hamlet has killed Polonius, driving his daughter, Ophelia, insane. Laertes, the son of Polonius, wants revenge. Hamlet has fled. Laertes arrives on the scene and demands to know what is going on. He is in a rage and likely to kill anyone he suspects of having a hand in destroying his family.
Claudius knows that he can turn Laertes' rage to his advantage. He quickly says that getting revenge is a good thing -- so long as he gets revenge on the right person. Claudius begins subtly manipulating Laertes, who does not immediately know who killed his father. He nearly thinks Claudius is guilty, but Claudius begins to manipulate him immediately.
Claudius is hoping that Laertes will take care of Hamlet for him. In this way, Claudius can be rid of Hamlet and Laertes can have his revenge. Claudius begins by calming Laertes down. He explains that Hamlet is the guilty party, and then explains why he covered for Hamlet and did not punish him for the crime of killing Polonius.
Claudius explains that he could not have executed Hamlet for the crime because it would have upset the queen (and the people) too much. Laertes, he says, has a right to avenge his father's death. Claudius explains that a duel is the perfect way for Laertes to get his revenge. Laertes agrees to use a sharp sword and even recommends applying poison to the end so even a scratch will kill. If those things don't work, Claudius will give him a poisoned drink after the duel.
In this way, Claudius has manipulated Laertes into dueling Hamlet. In this way, Laertes can avenge his father's death and Claudius can get rid of Hamlet without appearing to have a hand in it at all.
Answer:
Being rootless doesn't mean I don't belong to any one place; it means I choose to belong to many.
Explanation:
The word 'rootless' means homeless or wanderer who does not have a permanent home or place to live. He lives at different places at different time.
In the context, the author tries to convey the message that he is a wanderer and does not have a permanent settlement place. He had lived at different places all over his life. So he does not belongs to a particular place but all places belongs to him.
He emphasize this by saying that being homeless or unsettled at a particular place does not mean that he don't belong to any one of the place, but he means he can choose to belong to may places or countries.
Similarities:
-Arachne and Anansi are both characters that represent spider-like abilities or appearance. They have been shown in various ways but are always identified with the eight-legged animal.
-They are part of the traditional folklore of a culture, and therefore have inspired and influenced many other stories or tales throughout history.
-There is more than one version of their origins and stories, but they are always depicted as skillful, clever and defiant. Arachne defied the goddess Atena and Anansi was a prominent figure for slaves in Africa and the Caribbean.
Differences:
-Their origin is quite different: Arachne appears in the Greek mythology, while Anansi belongs to African and Caribbean folklore.
- Arachne was forced to be a spider. She was a Greek mortal who challenged the goddess Athena to a weaving contest. In the end, she was turned into a spider as a punishment. Anansi, on the other hand is a god-like creature with the ability to transform himself into a human or a spider whenever he wants to.
-Anansi is often seen as a hero who brings rain when there is fire, has unlimited stories and wisdom, and also inspires slaves. Arachne is seen as an example of what happens when mortals dare or disrespect gods.
