Tartuffe's appearance in act 3 is known for which of the following? A. Delayed emergence?
B. Exposed deliverance?
C. Postponed exposure?
D. Belated introduction?

Answers

Answer:

A. Delayed emergence.

Explanation:

Moliere's comedic play "Tartuffe" tells the story of how one man became the bone of contention in a family. Tartuffe came upon Orgon's family and made everything a mess.

Though the character of Tartuffe is talked about and even addressed, the main physical appearance of the character did not occur. He appeared physically only in Act III scene ii. This literary technique of a delayed emergence of the main character is employed by writers to produce some sort of effects in their works. Here too, Tartuffe's delayed appearance heightens the audience's anticipation of him. Also, it is another way of showing the mechanism of Tartuffe's ways of working, just like he did in the Orgon family. His presence is solidified only through the rumors and fears of the people who interact with him.
A because he comes in later and emergence means enters

In Edgar Allan Poe's "The Philosophy of Composition," what does Poe means when he created a contrast of the bird first appears in "The Raven"? A. By placing the black bird on a marble statue. B. By having the dark bird come in through a sunny window. C. By having the black bird come in from the dark night. D. By showing the bird's red eyes that later become brown.

Answers

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

In his essay, Edgar Allan Poe, outlined some rules to be followed to create a good piece of literature. The irony related with this essay is that Poe himself actually never followed these outlines. This essay was first published in 1846, by Poe's friend, George Rex Graham. The rules laid by Poe in his essay were:

  1. Length- the piece of literary work should not be very lengthy that it cannot be read in one sitting. For, if the reading is interrupted the work might lose its essence.
  2. Unity of effect- To keep the work original.
  3. A logical method.

To illustrate the use of his rules, he took the example of his poem "The Raven", how he had used the rules in the poem and framed a work that not only appeals its readers but also its critics.

The contrast that Poe had made in his poem "The Raven" is by placing the plumage on the bust of Pallas.

(Excerpt from his "The Philosophy of Composition" to prove my statement:

"I made the bird alight on the bust of Pallas, also for the effect of contrast between the marble and the plumage—it being understood that the bust was absolutely suggested by the bird—the bust of Pallas being chosen, first, as most in keeping with the scholarship of the lover, and, secondly, for the sonorousness of the word, Pallas, itself.")
A. By placing the black bird on a marble statue.
