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

I believe this is for the "Algebra With Pizzaz" math worksheet, page 32. There are 40 spaces, and when all of the equations are solved, the punchline should appear as "he really enjoys swinging nightclubs". If you need assistance with math equations, you would need to post the question in the Math section of Brainly.

In at least 150 words explain how Eudora Welty uses grotesque imagery to establish the most significant themes of the petrified
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

"The petrified man" by Eudora Welty uses grotesque imagery to establish the most significant themes through the characters of the story, there are two main characters and the whole story goes around the conversation between them, who in a very dark, twisted and unpleasant way criticize and diminish the life of others, pretending to be worrying about them and their whereabouts, all the people that are being cynically analyzed in this piece of work are the clients of Leota, a beautician, her and her customer, Mrs. Fletcher are representations of the most despicable "qualities" of the human beings, the sense of grotesque in the story is created in the atmosphere by the way these two characters interact and how they personalities seem to be built only over darker shades of selfishness, irony, and sarcasm. These characters feel that they are morally superior somehow, which gives them the right to scrutinize the clients' lives

Explanation:

"The petrified man" has not been considered as a beautiful piece of written work for many experts because of it's obscure and despicable nature. For other, the use of this technique represents something worthy of analysis and it in fact became a representative story of the darkness inside of the human soul.

Mashutka [201]
Creon is a tyrant. He is the antagonist in the play. He displays cool reason instead of being hot-tempered and emotional. As a result, he chooses the rational laws of man and rejects the irrational laws of the gods. 
<span>Antigone, on the other hand, is a heroine who understands the importance of duty towards her family. Creon instituted a law that forbade anyone to bury her brother, Polyneices.  Antigone believed that burying her brother was more important that following the laws of the state.</span>
