Daedalus and Icarus is the story of a Greek father and son who were imprisoned in a tower. To escape, Daedalus constructs two sets of wax wings. They fly out of the tower and over the ocean back home. Daedalus warns his son Icarus that he should not fly too far up or he will fly too close to the sun and the heat will melt his wax wings. Icarus refuses to listen and flies higher and higher over the sea. Soon his wax wings melt from the sun and he crashes into the sea and drowns. Daedalus has to watch his son drown knowing there he could have done. This greek legend is often used as a fable, the moral being always listen to the advice of your elders/ wise advice.
Answer:
B. Women have been held back by men’s view of what they can do.
Explanation:
Unfortunately, at the beginning of the 20th century, when the book was written, society still was very unequal and men didn’t believe in women’s independence. Fathers didn’t have high hopes and expectations for their daughters: instead of wanting them to study, have money of their own and a career, they preferred them to stay at home with their families until they met someone and got married. This why the society was strongly patriarchal. Power was given to men in most areas of life and women were given the role of homemakers.
Although Cory is rich and of an elite class, he kills himself because he is unhappy.
The poem begins describing Richard Cory as a rich gentleman. The speaker of the poem is one of the townspeople and he says, "we thought that he was everything to make us wish that we were in his place." This envy from the townspeople does not cost him his life. But it surprises the townspeople because they thought they wanted to be him, however, they do not want to be dead like Cory is at the end of the poem. It is ironic because his unhappiness is unexpected since he came across as though he was happy because of his money.
