In 'The Birthmark, Hawthorne develops the theme that the quest for perfection is destined to fail.

The details from the story that contribute to the development of this theme are:

  • <u>A. "Do not repent that with so high and pure a feeling, you have rejected the best the earth could offer. Aylmer, dearest Aylmer, I am dying!" </u>
  • <u>B. "Perhaps its removal may cause cureless deformity, or it may be the stain goes as deep as life itself.''</u>

According to the complete question, we can see that there is a quest for perfection by some characters in the book who want to be the best and not to make mistakes or wrong decisions.

As a result of this, Hawthorne shows that people like this are always destined to fail because there are no perfect people. This is evident as the speaker says that she rejected the best the world has to offer and it has caused a "cureless deformity".

Therefore,the correct answers are options A and B

Which element of Endgame helps establish the idea of circularity?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

C). Beckett begins with the idea of endings.

Explanation:

'Endgame' by Samuel Beckett works upon the existentialist philosophy and belongs to the 'theater of absurd.' It is often considered as the follow up of Beckett's classic work 'Waiting for Godot.'

As per the question, <u>the play authorizes the idea of circularity as the play begins and ends on the same note i.e. 'intertwining of beginning and end</u>.' It is based upon the key idea of 'hopelessness' and the characters are endlessly waiting for 'nothing' but death. Clove internally feels 'he need to live' and plans of leaving but could not and goes back to the same situation(reflects absurdity and nothingness). Thus, the entire play moves around this very idea and hence, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

There were a lot of times when America was helped and at the same time harmed during significant events in history because of the spy system. One example is when George Washington crumpled the British when he sought help from spies and their network.
