What element of Greek tragedy does Ismene articulate in the following lines from Antigone?

Answer:

B.  Hubris

Explanation:

"Antigone" is a tragedy by Sophocles written in or before 441 BCE.

In the Prologue of the play, Antigone decides to bury his killed brother despite Creon's law forbidding it. Ismene (her sister) tries to stop Antigone from doing this. She says these lines. "It is foolish (to bury the brother), I opine, It is overstepping the law."

These lines show Ismene’s excessive pride she takes in her understanding of the situation in contrast to Antigone, who according to Ismene is foolish. Hubris is excessive pride or self-confidence of a character. It is one of the tragic/fatal flaws in many tragedies. So, Ismene is articulating hubris (excessive pride) in these lines.

Anagnorsis is an element of Greek tragedy in which a character gets a useful insight to his/her position/situation, when he/she comes to know his/her limitations or strong points.  

Peripeteia is sudden reversal of fortune or change in circumstances of a character. It usually occurs at the end of a tragedy.

Catastrophe is the final resolution of all conflicts of the tragedy. It is synonymous with denouement which brings an end to play/story.

Xavier loves to write poetry. Often he uses techniques that his favorite poets use, but typically he modifies these techniques t
Furkat [3]

Answer:

Socio-cultural theory of cognitive development.

Explanation: The Russian psychologist Vygotsky's theory is a milestone and the basis of  constructivism. He felt that social learning precedes development. He explains that "every function in child's cultural development occurs twice, firstly, on social level(interpsychological) and secondly, on individual level"(intrapsychological). Thus, when Xavier modifies the poetic techniques he is reflecting Vygotsky's instructional principle of cognitive development according to which child constructs knowledge actively. He says cognition and consciousness are the by-products of socialization.

Which parts of this excerpt from John Bunyan's The Pilgrim’s Progress show that the central character is devoutly religious and
Maurinko [17]
In my opinion, these parts show that the central character (Christian) is devoutly religious and God-fearing: <span>Because I fear that this burden is upon my back will sink me lower than the grave, and I shall fall into Tophet [Isa. 30:33] And, Sir, if I be not fit to go to prison, I am not fit, I am sure, to go to judgement, and from thence to execution; and the thoughts of these things make me cry. Christian has experienced first-hand that life is cruel and difficult. It would be far too easy to give up on life and embrace death, but he also knows that there is one thing worse than death, and that is hell. If he were to give up, he would end up in hell. So, he is willing to go down the path of salvation, with the help of Evangelist. This part also shows it: </span><span>Whither must I fly? It means that he is humble enough to obediently follow the path that Evangelist shows him. "The Pilgrim's Progress" shows us a central character who is weak and pliable just like most of people. He often errs and goes astray, and it's his humility and commitment that give him enough courage to follow Evangelist's guidance.</span>
