<span>Read the excerpt from Montaigne's "To the Reader" and answer the question. Had my intention been to seek the world's favour, I should surely have adorned myself with borrowed beauties: I desire therein to be viewed as I appear in mine own genuine, simple, and ordinary manner, without study and artifice: for it is myself I paint. The metaphor implied in these lines suggests to readers that they will find Montaigne's writing style unadorned. To be "genuine, simple and ordinary manners" suggests an unadorned writing style reflectling his own modest behaviour.</span>
Brutus is a tragic hero as his judgement of error in killing Caesar leads to his downfall but he is an inherently good man.
Explanation:
Brutus is an enigmatic character in the play as he joins the conspiracy and drags the dagger into the heart of Caesar yet he has love for him and torments himself for doing it.
He does not kill Caesar eventually because he hates him, he mentions repeatedly that he likes him and thinks of him as a great man and as a friend .
He does so because he thinks this is what will be good for Rome and as a patriot it is his responsibility to do this for the nation.
He torments himself for the act and realizes eventually that it has done more harm than good, making him die in the end as his fall is tragic and follows the classical principles.
The statement which best describes the purpose of the horse-drawn carriage imagery in "Because I Could Not Stop for Death" is:
The imagery introduces the idea that death is a natural and ordinary part of one's journey through life.
The poem “Because I Could Not Stop for Death" is about the journey of death away from the life. Her experience with death who comes to take her to the world away from the worldly pleasures is the main theme of the poem. She tells about the things which she encounters through her journey towards her grave. Her feelings for her death is not frightening, rather a practical and different experience.
