When I think of Gothic, I don't think of anything positive, so A would definitely not be it. The same thing with B. Anything with beautiful, sparkling, bright and colourful things just doesn't scream goth.

For C, I could see where it would be going with using a jail yard as a setting, but since the answer specifically says on a sunny afternoon, then I don't think that would be correct either. When people think sunny, they usually think happy.

I think D would be most accurate. It doesn't seem like it would have any positive attributes, and it would probably even make some people uneasy.

So yeah, I'm not 100% sure, but this is the best I can do to figure it out. I think D would be the best choice! :)

Answer:

D. An abandoned mental hospital

Explanation:

When one thinks of the word "Gothic", the first thing that comes in mind is the gloomy, scary and eerie feeling it evokes to the readers. So, for a Gothic setting, an abandoned mental hospital will be the best example among the given options. A meadow filled with <u>flowers</u>, a <u>beautiful enchanted</u> forest or a jail yard on a <u>sunny </u>afternoon all gives a sense of positive vibes or feeling while the very term "Gothic" is meant to symbolize anything that is the opposite of anything that is positive or invokes happiness.

Which statement best compares the last remarks in the two monologues?
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Brutus creates closure, whereas Antony stimulates anger.

Explanation:

The two monologues in question are from Act III scene ii of the play "The Tragedy Of Julius Caesar" by William Shakespeare. The two monologues are from the scene where Brutus had addressed the people after the death of Caesar and Antony had also came to view the body. He then addressed the people right after the exit of Brutus.

The last remarks of the two monologues are-

Brutus remarks that he wants the people to pay their respects to Caesar and told the, that Antony will address the people. After giving his leave, he exit and from there Antony began his speech.

Whereas, Antony's speech details the goodness and wholehearted sacrifice of Caesar for his people. The "over ambitious" nature that Brutus accused Caesar of, was what led him to be a great leader for his whole acts and aims was for the good of his people. He even mentioned that Caesar had written in his will that the people of Rome are to be his inheritors.

Thus, the two monologues that the two leaders gave after the death of Caesar are quite different in that, Brutus' monologue creates closure for everyone, not only himself. He accepts the death of Caesar and implores the people to do so too. But Antony's monologue rather stimulates anger in the people.
