Answer:
we need the story to answer this question
Answer:
1.Literature may reflect the time it was written in a variety of ways:
- Because language is always developing, writing style can be indicative of a certain era. This is true for vocabulary, sentence structure, and even spelling.
- Themes and concerns: historical events, prevalent views, scientific advancements, religious or political ideals, social customs, all make up a writer's background and are reflected in the subjects he picks and the manner in which he presents them. Thus, you have Romantic writers who were impacted by the industrial revolution and turned to nature, as well as Shakespeare's plays, which were influenced by the Renaissance.
Explanation:
2.Historical Criticism in the Story of an Hour Mallard exemplifies women's yearning to be free of men by celebrating her husband's death rather than mourning it. Chopin expresses this desire in her writing, "when she abandoned herself, a small muttered syllable escaped her slightly parted lips."
3.The setting for the narrative is the late Middle Ages, during the reign of Louis XI, and the construction of the cathedral. Hugo was inspired to compose the narrative by his love of Gothic art and architecture, as well as his studies in mediaeval Christianity.
set B
1.The author places the characters' lifestyles in a clearly Victorian setting. He tells us about the characters' social and professional life. He also tells us about the Victorian social mores of the time.
2.For this, I believe you should evaluate your personal experience. I consider several revolutions and patriotic battles that have occurred throughout history. Consider the American Revolution, the current battle for democracy in China, and the fall of the Berlin Wall.
3.Dickens drew the inspiration for the work from Wilkie Collins' play The Frozen Deep, in which he portrayed the self-sacrificing hero. Dickens chose to transplant the emotionally charged theme of self-sacrifice to the time of the French Revolution, and he based Sydney Carton after Collins' hero. Dickens studied his friend Thomas Carlyle's classic history of the French Revolution to ensure that his work was as historically accurate as possible.The French Revolution was still the most spectacular topic in the public's recent memory when Dickens wrote A Tale of Two Cities. For Dickens, a political radical who advocated for poor law reform and a more equitable society, the revolution raised sensitive concerns. He eloquently depicts the French people's hunger and the harshness of the French nobility, as personified by the Evrémonde family in the novel, and he appears to validate the lower class's yearning for a revolution. Nonetheless, he vividly depicts the barbarism of revolutionaries when they achieve power.
