In Marlow's Doctor Faustus view of morality, there is the idea of sin, which Christianity defines as acts contrary to the will of God. In making a pact with Lucifer, Faustus commits what is in a sense the ultimate sin: not only does he disobey God, but he consciously and even eagerly renounces obedience to him, choosing instead to swear allegiance to the devil.

In a "Discourse on Method", Descartes does not seek to teach people of sin and its consequences. Rather, the author simply addresses the manner in which one can know truth through science and one's ability to think for themselves apart from our five senses. He believes that God exists because he can reason that there must be a mind which knows perfection and he understands that that he, himself, is imperfect.

Marlow’s work is about the imperfections of Faustus and God’s judgment on those faults, whereas Descartes simply sees the fact that God exits, due to his own imperfections. His thoughts go like this, "If I am imperfect and can consider that there is such a thing as perfection, then there must be a God who is perfect."

The mysterious work is known as Everyman and the play by Christopher Marlowe titled Doctor Faustus are both "profound quality plays" in the least difficult sense, since both endeavor to show moral, Christian lessons. Everyman is a "profound quality play" in the strictest feeling of the term; Doctor Faustus is not, if simply because it was composed for a perpetual open theater.

12. Which detail helps illustrate the author's point in "Against Nature," (pages 221–229), that nature provides no link to spiri
mote1985 [20]

<u>Answer</u>:

B: “And the lovely blue isn't even blue, is it? isn't even there, is it?"

This detail helps illustrate the author's point in "Against Nature".

<u>Explanation</u>:

The story “Joyce Carol Oates” states that nature doesn’t give any instructions for humans. Joyce is not against nature in her story, but she questions about her own existence and she thinks she doesn’t exist.

Oates suffered from cardiac attack and while she is lying down on her back, she goes through a thought process. Her mind roams around and Oates uses imagery to depict what is going on around her. She searches the area around her, talks about the nature.

This line shows that Oates is trying to say that nature has connection with no spiritual truth as she is even questioning the color of the blue sky that whether that is also true or not.

Read this information that associates Hemingway with modernism, a literary movement in American literature and answer the questi
konstantin123 [22]

<em>dialog that subtly suggests communication conflicts</em> This is the correct option.

The charters in the story ,“Hills Like White Elephants”, talk about "it" all the time. The reader has to infer that what the man and the woman are talking about is an abortion. However, they seem to have difficulties to speak openly about it and they do not have it clear what they will decide. There are communication conflicts. The man thinks he knows what will be best for the woman but she does not sound so assertive. Their dialogue is fragmented. There is not a "history" line through it. The reader has to assume how it is they got together and she became pregnant. Yet, the couple are faced with a difficulty they find it hard to talk about.

These options are not right:

-characters who hide secret intentions from one another ( In this case, the woman is not hiding her pregnancy, for example. The man is not hiding his intentions , either. They cannot talk freely and openly about their problem: the woman 's pregnancy).

-imagery that highlights the importance of the setting. ( The imagery is used metaphorically to ,probably, represent the characters' emotions and moods).

-metaphors that reveal significant plot developments. ( Heminway tends to use simple language to get closer to the reader. Therefore, he will not oversuse sophisticated language).
