Answer:

The novel Frankenstein is greatly influenced by the tale of Prometheus.

Explanation:

The full name of the book is <em>Frankenstein</em> or the <em>Modern Prometheus. </em>In Greek mythology, Prometheus is credited with the creation of humanity from clay, and stealing the God´s fire to give to humanity knowledge and enlightenment. He then was eternally condemned by Zeus, being bounded to a rock and having an eagle come every day to eat his liver, which would grow back overnight. In later western cultures, Prometheus became a figure that represented human striving, the quest for scientific knowledge, and the risk of unintended consequences. Victor Frankenstein, like Prometheus, wants to be a creator and hold the power of the Gods, by assembling a body from various corpses and trying to give it life, using the power of electricity (representation of Zeus). He then is tortured by his own creation for the rest of his days, like Prometheus. The gift of creating life comes along with the curse of the monster, whom Victor could not bare, and then goes on a killing spree for not being accepted. The killing spree of Frankenstein´s monster would be a representation of Pandora, who was sent by Zeus to release all the evils of humanity after Prometheus gifted them with the God´s fire.

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

This excerpt proves that Odysseus causes his crew's demise:

D. by revealing his ignorant assumptions.

Explanation:

The excerpt we are analyzing here belongs to the epic poem The Odyssey. The hero of the story, Odysseus, is talking to a Cyclops, but his ignorant assumptions about the Cyclops's kind leads to his crew's demise.<u> Odysseus assumes the Cyclopes, just like humans, fear and respect the gods. That's why he appeals to that notion when he says, "Zeus will avenge the unoffending guest." However, to his sad surprise, the Cyclops is immediately angered by those words, revealing he could not care less about the gods. The Cyclopes are clearly an arrogant kind, believing they "have more force by far." Since Odysseus did not know that, his words cause a tragedy.</u>
