Read the following passage from Act I, scene ii of The Tempest, in which Prospero explains to Miranda how Antonio usurped him.
Iteru [2.4K]

"The Tempest" is considered a revenge tragedy. The usurpation of Prospero's dukedom from Antonio, his own beloved brother, is an indication of his distemper. Words that can create a tone of reproach and melancholy for the past are: "evil nature", falsehood", "perfidious" which are attributed to the dishonest brother. Miranda appears to live in a dream place where corruption and malevolence do not exist. However, Prospero's negative attitue towards Antonio expresses that there is evil in human nature and it can even come from close acquaintances and family.

Write a paragraph that evaluates Odysseus’s qualifications as an epic hero.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Odysseus has all of the qualifications as an epic leader. He is wise, and determined.

" I had touched the spot when sudden fear stayed me: if I killed him we perished there as well, for we could never move his ponderous doorway slab aside. So we were left to groan and wait for morning."

This proves that he knows what is right, and they he is determined to do what he believes is best for his crew. Odysseus knows that if he kills the Cyclops, then he and his men will not be able to go inside the cave.
