The question is based on Richard Writer’s NATIVE SON
Mr Datton is of the opinion that Negroes are happier when they are
Detalles de la respuesta
In "Native Son", Mr. Dalton earned a fortune in real estate. Although he profits from charging high rents to poor black tenants—including Bigger’s family—on Chicago’s South Side, he nonetheless claims to be a generous philanthropist and supporter of black Americans. Mr. Dalton is a major player in the production of the “whiteness” that terrifies, oppresses, and enrages Bigger. Despite Bigger’s criminal record, Mr. Dalton gives him a job because he thinks that blacks deserve a chance. Nonetheless, there is condescension in Mr. Dalton’s manner and charity. He simultaneously profits from keeping blacks like Bigger’s family in terrible housing, and expresses alleged benevolence by giving Bigger a menial job.

_____________refers to time and place of a drama?
Detalles de la respuesta
The term that refers to the time and place of a drama is "setting." The setting is the physical and social environment in which a story or drama takes place. It includes the time period, the location, the climate, and the social context of the story. The setting can be a specific place, such as a city, a building, or a room, or it can be a more general location, such as a forest, a beach, or a desert. In drama, the setting is important because it helps to establish the context of the story and provides the audience with a visual and emotional backdrop for the action. The setting can also influence the characters' behavior and motivations, as well as the themes and messages of the drama. Therefore, if someone is referring to the time and place of a drama, they are talking about the setting. It is important to note that the setting is not the same as a scene or an act, which refer to specific parts of the drama rather than the overall environment in which the story takes place.

Tell me not, sweet, I am unkind" illustrates_________
Detalles de la respuesta
The line "Tell me not, sweet, I am unkind" illustrates a paradox. A paradox is a statement or situation that contradicts itself or seems to be untrue or impossible. In this case, the speaker is saying "Tell me not (that I am unkind)," which means "Do not tell me that I am not kind," but at the same time, the speaker is acknowledging that they might be unkind. This creates a contradiction or an apparent absurdity that makes the statement paradoxical. Paradoxes are often used in literature, poetry, or philosophy to challenge conventional thinking and to make the reader or listener think more deeply about a subject.

Detalles de la respuesta

The phrase “living death” in a literary work is an example_____________
Detalles de la respuesta
The phrase "living death" in a literary work is an example of an "oxymoron." An oxymoron is a figure of speech that combines two contradictory or opposing ideas to create a new phrase or concept. In this case, "living" and "death" are two words that are completely opposite in meaning. "Living" refers to being alive and having a vibrant existence, while "death" refers to the absence of life and the end of existence. By combining these two words into the phrase "living death," the author is able to create a powerful image of a situation or state of being that is both alive and dead at the same time. In literature, oxymorons are often used to create a sense of tension, irony, or paradox. They can also be used to create memorable and thought-provoking phrases that stick in the reader's mind.

This can be used to describe a character who is in a state of despair, depression, or hopelessness, or to describe a situation that is stagnant, unchanging, or lacking in vitality.
