Answer:
A). The blood motif suggests that revenge will lead to violence and death.
Explanation:
A motif is demonstrated as the persisting or dominant idea, action, or image that carries a symbolic significance and contributes to advancing the theme of the literary work.
In the given excerpt from Act V, Scene I, of Julius Caesar (('OCTAVIOUS....sweat'), the image or idea that is being repeated would be 'blood motif' that implies that this vengeance corresponds to violence and bloodshed in the plot that relates to one of the most important themes of the play. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
The two novels being analyzed are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland written Lewis Carroll and Harry Potter and Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling. Both novels have the main character traveling through a magical world. The adventure does not begin for either character until they enter that fantasy world. The authors of both books do a great job of using humor and fantasy to capture the readers attention. Each novel has its own special qualities, but one argument is for sure, both books are fantasies.
Secondly, the author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland uses humor and fantasy to appeal to both children and adults. This novel would appeal to children because of the many fantasy creatures, such as a talking rabbit, a disappearing cat, and soldiers made out of cards. A child pays more attention to a book when the characters are fantasy creatures.
