The quotation from the epic poem "Beowulf" means that Beowulf's helmet was covered in gold as it was fashionable in the old times. Furthermore, the author suggests that the helmet was so strong and solid that it was able to intercept any sword that intended to attack through it.

Answer:

'The Taming of the shrew' talks about complexity of issues in love, marriage and society.

Explanation:

"The Taming of the Shrew" by "William Shakespeare" talks about love, whether it is romantic, platonic or filial. He talks about romantic relationship between a man and a woman when they take interest in each other and decide to get married. Both of them show their romantic side to their partner during the courtship and their love is both romantic and platonic during this time.

The theme 'filial' is depicted in the story when Shakespeare shows how parents play a significant role in life of their children who are about to get married. Lucentio and Bianca loved each other but he got permission to marry her only after convincing her father Baptista that he was very rich.

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

A. Pyramus and Thisbe speak through the wall that separates their houses.

B. Pyramus arrives at the meeting place before Thisbe returns.

C. Thisbe arrives at the meeting place ahead of Pyramus.

Explanation:

These are the three options that happened by chance that affected the outcome of "Pyramus and Thisbe".

Pyramus and Thisbe is a story about two young Babylonia lovers who fall in love with each other but whose families hate each other so they find a way to talk to each other through the wall and when they can no longer bear it, they decide to elope.

The two lovers agree to meet at the mulberry tree but Thisbe arrives before Pyramus and sees a lioness with a bloodied jaw from a recent kill, she assumes the lioness has killed Pyramus, she screams and runs away from the scene.

Shortly after, Pyramus arrives at the meeting place before Thisbe returns and sees the same lioness with bloodied jaw and assumes Thisbe has been devoured by it. In his grief, he kills himself, but before he dies he sees Thisby and discovers she's still alive. Thisby also kills herself.
