When Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence, he used a rhetorical writing style that was the standard during the 18th century. The goal was to build towards a climax. By stating life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as unalienable rights that should be enjoyed by all men he set the tone for the rest of the document. The succeeding list described how the British violated these rights in an order where the worst violations were placed last.

In Elizabethan revenge tragedies, it is common for the villain to declare himself a thorough rascal. In what way do Melanthius t
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Explanation:  Melanthius the goatherd and suitors throw away a chance to redeem themselves when at one point Odysseus disguises himself as an inhabitant of the street and Melanthius comes out to meet him who, without recognizing him, mocks him and physically assaults him by causing blows to his hip. Then before Odysseus himself he denies knowing about that beggar. That situation shows his disloyal stance towards his master. As for the suitors, without first confirming that what Melanthius says is true, they reprimand Eumaeus, who is the one who surprises Melanthius trying to steal weapons in order to give the suitors in favor of what happened. Another show of disloyalty to Odysseus who orders that he be tied and hung on beams.
