Her perception of the world

Explanation:

  • In this play two women try to solve the problem which the men couldn't. Mrs. Peter is married to the sheriff and she follows the law. She also apologizes for them as they were doing her duty. She clearly understands the problem of women and the laws that do not protect women.
  • She says that the law has got to punish crime. This shows how she perceives the world. She does not want to work with something that favors crime.
  • It shows the irony that the law does not protect women.

Maslowich

The correct answer is “His desire to explore is greater than his fear of where he is going”. Taken from the short story “<em>By the Waters of Babylon</em>” by Stephen Vincent Benét (1937), the passage presented above narrates the moment when John, the son of a priest, visits the <u>Place of the Gods</u>, also called <u>The Dead Place</u>. This place was destroyed by a great burning. Moreover, the Place of the Gods was said to be inhabited with spirits and demons since then. The place was described as a desolate one and nature has taken over it. Even though the place was forbidden and scary, John embarks on a journey to unravel its mysteries. <u>He does not fear its scary atmosphere</u>, since his insatiable quest for knowledge is far more important.
