1. Why is the windstorm significant in the development of the plot?

The windstorm is significant in the development of the plot because it became the main reason why the sentries<em> (guards)</em> were blinded while they were digging up the rotting body of<em> "Polynices." </em>

2. What explanation does the guard give for its cause?

The guard explained that "Antigone" is the culprit behind the illegal burial of Polynices (<em>Antigone's brother).</em> After the windstorm passed, the guards saw Antigone and she also saw them. The guards said <em>she then cursed them</em> and started burying the body again.

Explanation:

Antigone is a character is <em>Greek mythology</em>. She is the daughter of Oedipus and <em>Jocasta/Euryganeia. </em>

Antigone only wanted his brother to have a<em> respectable burial</em>. Thus, when she was asked by<em> Creon</em> whether she knew<u><em> it was forbidden to mourn for his brother,</em></u><u><em> </em></u>Antigone immediately admitted and said that she believes in the superiority of the divine law over the human law.

Which is one characteristic of iambic pentameter, which is used in "Sonnet 29”?
tiny-mole [99]
In iambic pentameter, each verse consists of five metrical feet. Meter is a poem's rhythm, and feet are units of that rhythm.

In an iamb, an unstressed syllable is followed by a stressed syllable, as in the word "hello."

"Penta" means five, so a verse of iambic pentameter has five iambs. Five pairs of unstressed syllables followed by stressed syllables.

Five pairs gives a total of ten syllables. So the answer is B, "each line contains ten syllables."

Examine Dr. Faustus’s status as a tragic hero. Does he deserve this label? Explain your answer. Your answer should be at least 1
Virty [35]

Dr Faustus can be considered a tragic hero for various reasons. Firstly, we can conclude that he is not completely bad or evil, he just makes a critical error and decides to sell his soul to the devil due to his thirst for knowledge. This makes us relate to him due to his imperfect nature and hunger for knowledge and consequently we pity him more. Secondly, he is of high standing and is a great scholar, which makes us question how these things can happen to such people and this makes his tragic destiny seem even more gloomy to us. When we look at Aristotle's definition of a tragic hero where he defines him as someone not 100% good or bad who makes us feel sorry for their miserable fate, the character of Faustus fits this definition perfectly. All in all, his human vices paired with his inquisitive nature are the main reasons why we are obliged to consider Dr Faustus a tragic hero.
