In typical Greek dramas, the prologue is the opening scene that provides background information about the play and sets up its c

onflict. Which of these excerpts from Antigone successfully achieve that goal?
ISMENE:
To me, Antigone, no word of friends
Has come, or glad or grievous, since we twain
Were reft of our two brethren in one day
By double fratricide; and since i' the night
Our Argive leaguers fled, no later news
Has reached me, to inspirit or deject.

. . .

ANTIGONE:
Such is the edict (if report speak true)
Of Creon, our most noble Creon, aimed
At thee and me, aye me too; and anon
He will be here to promulgate, for such
As have not heard, his mandate; 'tis in sooth
No passing humor, for the edict says
Whoe'er transgresses shall be stoned to death.

. . .

ISMENE:
If in defiance of the law we cross
A monarch's will?—weak women, think of that,
Not framed by nature to contend with men.
Remember this too that the stronger rules;
We must obey his orders, these or worse.
Therefore I plead compulsion and entreat
The dead to pardon.

. . .

ANTIGONE:
Sister, forbear, or I shall hate thee soon,
And the dead man will hate thee too, with cause.
Say I am mad and give my madness rein
To wreck itself; the worst that can befall
Is but to die an honorable death.

Compare how Chesterton and the author of “The Instinct that Makes People Rich” interpret the Midas myth. How do these different
Viktor [21]
The writer of "The Instinct that Makes People Rich" interprets the Midas myth as the story of a man who could not fail.

Chesterton, however, says that Midas DID fail. He starved because he could not eat gold.

Chesterton says that success always comes at the sacrifice of something else, something "domestic." (By this he means that, yes, a millionaire has money but will lack something else, like love or friendship, etc.) He says that people who think Midas succeeded are just like the author of the article -- both worship money.

Chesterton says that worshipping money has nothing to do with success and everything to do with snobbery.

Which one of the following suffixes would you add to the verb hate to convert it into a noun? A. -d B. -s C. -ing D. -er
WARRIOR [948]
You could add the suffix D. -er to the verb hate in order to convert it into a noun. When you do that, you get the word hater, which is a noun denoting a person who hates. Technically, C is also correct, because you get a noun hating, which is the act of hating - but if you have to choose just one, I'd go with D. When you add -d you get an adjective hated, and when you add -s, you get a verb hates.
