word or phrase from this passage that best demonstrated the conflict between
man and nature is perhaps ‘penetrate’ or specifically ‘penetrate the secrets of

Odysseus admits that from that point onwards, their journey was met with numerous natural obstacles that the god Zeus seemed to have sent to 'attack' them, punish them for their bad deeds. <u>This event shows that the ancient Greeks believed that people were often punished by the gods for any bad acts or deeds they may have done.

Aesthetics is refers in a very simple way as the theory of beauty, it is used in arta, in this case, literature. It makes a lot of different questions related to beauty and similar concepts. What makes things beautiful? Which elements contribute to it's beauty and how?

In this case we are talking of an aesthetic impact, feeling in a powerful way, the beauty of a text. I think the best answer therefore is: D) The way the plot comes full circle is meant to make the reader fell satisfied.
Some of the characteristics of art that we most enjoy are the symmetry and harmony, literature is not the exception, we feel pleaced when this is achieved in a story or a poem. By having a plot that comes full circle this is accomplished, giving the sensation to the reader that he had a round experience, in which nothing was left aside closing the circle.
