Answer:
Giles Core is characterized as
1. A foolish man- Indirect Characterization
2. A courageous man- Direct Characterization.
Explanation:
The Crucible tells the story of a man named Giles Corey who voluntarily offered a piece of information that would cause people to suspect his wife as a witch. He mentioned that when his wife read a book, he found it hard to pray but hen she stopped reading the book, he could then pray. This made people suspect his wife to be a witch. Through his actions, the author indirectly characerized him as a foolish man.
He tried to correct that impression when instead of giving the name of a man suspected to be wizard, he rather chose to die. The author through this description directly characterized him as a hero.
Answer:
He realizes that Odysseus was destined to take his eye.
Explanation:
The epic narrative "The Odyssey" by Homer is about the journey of Odysseus and his men after the Battle of Troy. Their journey would lead them through encounters with mortals, gods, demons, monsters, etc. testing their very being.
In the given excerpt from the epic, the Cyclops admitted that Odysseus was destined to inflict the physical wound in his eye. He revealed, <em>". . . he foretold for time to come: my great eye lost, and at Odysseus' hands. . ."</em> But what he didn't expect was that Odysseus would be <em>"small, pitiful and twiggy"</em>. Nevertheless, he accepted his fate and invited Odysseus to come back to the island.
Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
