Answer 1

Answer:

1. In Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, 32 characters make the trip to Canterbury. 29 of these are mentioned in line 24 of the “General Prologue.” The narrator joins this group (making 30). The host, Harry Bailey, makes 31. The Canon's yeoman, who joins the group later, makes 32.
2. Delio is Antonio's friend and is of the same social class. Totally loyal, he is privy to Antonio and the Duchess' secret marriage, and he looks after Antonio's sole surviving son at the end of the play.
3. Come Helen, come, give me my soul again. Here will I dwell, for heaven be in these lips, And all is dross that is not Helena! These lines come from a speech that Faustus makes as he nears the end of his life and begins to realize the terrible nature of the bargain he has made.

5. Family : Zeus (father) Leda (mother)
6. Spouse : Menelaus
