A man called Gualtieri becomes Marquis of Saluzzo. He's not married and spends all of his time hunting, so his people are worried about the future of his estate.They urge Gualtieri to marry and provide them with an heir.Gualtieri finally gives in on one condition: he gets to choose his own wife and they'll have to honor her as their lady, whoever she is.His people agree and eagerly await his choice.Gualtieri had taken a liking to a poor girl in his locality, so he approached her father and made a bargain for marriage.Then he returns to his own people and gives them the news, reminding them of their promise.The people, who never believed he would settle down, are joyful.Gualtieri and his people plan a lavish wedding. He has a dress made to fit his bride and buys rings and crowns for her.Just one thing: he has to tell the girl that she's marrying him.So on the day of the wedding, Gualtieri rides out to the village to get his bride. Since she has no idea that he intends to marry her, she's standing around with the other village girls, trying to get a look at the lucky bride.We learn that her name is Griselda. Gualtieri sits down with her and her father and asks her a series of questions. He wants to know if she'll obey him, no matter what.When she agrees, Gualtieri brings her outside to his waiting kinsman.Then he strips her naked in front of all the men and women present. Nice.Only then does he call for the new clothes he's had made for her (perhaps he should have done that before the stripping).He asks her if she'll accept him as her husband (she does). He accepts her as his wife. It's a done deal.There's a huge party at Gualtieri's house, just as if he'd married a high-born lady.And in fact Griselda turns out to be a treasure. She has excellent manners, treats her husband's subjects well, and is totally compliant with Gualtieri's wishes. Everyone adores her.Griselda has a daughter and Gualtieri is super happy with her. But then, something disturbing happens.Dioneo says that Gualtieri's "seized" with a desire to test Griselda's goodness and begins treating her badly.She responds with total submissiveness and Gualtieri is pleased that she is passing his tests. But he doesn't tell her that.He's also not finished with her. He tells her that his subjects are complaining about this low-born daughter of theirs.So one day, a servant appears to Griselda and implies that Gualtieri has ordered him to take the infant out and murder it.Griselda obeys and hands over the baby even though she's heartbroken.Gualtieri actually sends the child to be raised by a kinswoman in Bologna, but he lets Griselda think she's dead.Griselda then has another child, a boy. Gualtieri decides to play with his wife's emotions some more.He tells her that his subjects resent that they'll be ruled by the grandson of a farmer, so he's going to do the same thing to the boy as he did to the girl.Not only that, he's going to look around for someone better to marry.Griselda says that he should do whatever makes him happy. She's nobody, anyway.So the boy baby is taken from her in the same way, and Griselda responds as she did before.Gualtieri's subjects also think he's had his own children killed and they hate him for it.The women who surround Griselda console her, but she simply says that her husband's word is law.Everyone loves Griselda even more because of her sweet nature and all the abuse she suffers.Years pass, and Gualtieri decides it's time for one more test. He's going to divorce Griselda and marry someone else.Gualtieri takes the cruel scheme to a whole new level: he pretends to have received papers from the Pope that allow him to divorce Griselda.He brings Griselda before his people and tells her his intentions. Griselda shames him with her humility and steadiness.She says that she never believed she was worthy of him, so she doesn't blame him for taking these steps.But would he please let her leave with a slip on so that she doesn't have to show her nakedness to the world?Gualtieri wants to cry at her goodness, but he keeps at it. Okay, he says, you can keep your slip.So Griselda returns to her village thirteen years after her marriage and takes up her old sheep-herding job.Gualtieri's subjects are not happy. But he's not done yet.He tells everyone he's going to marry again. Since he no longer has a wife or serving women to set the place in order for the wedding, he calls Griselda back to do it for him.Amazingly, she complies. She cleans, arranges the bedrooms and sends the invitations. She also has to stand by and greet all the guests as though she were still lady of the house.Meanwhile, Gualtieri sends to Bologna for his children to be returned. At this point, the girl is 12 and the boy is 6. He orders his kinsman to say that the daughter is to be Gualtieri's bride.

what makes something tragic? what makes that different than others that are just sad
Answer:
Tragedy is a genre of story in which a hero is brought down by his/her own flaws, usually by ordinary human flaws – flaws like greed, over-ambition, or even an excess of love, honor, or loyalty. The hero is successful, respected, and happy. But he has some tragic flaw that will ultimately cause his downfall. Tragedy is something unexpected that happens, and in the end something bad happens to a character that shocks, and saddens us.
This is different than some stories that are just sad, because a tragedy is something bad unexpected. Meanwhile something sad happens because of how the plot is happening. This means you can tell it is angst and was going to happen either way.

Both Fourteen and “The Dinner Party” tell the story of a woman’s frustration with the changing guest list for a dinner party that she has planned. What are two major differences between the play and the short story? Give examples from the texts to support your response.
Answer:
The texts differ in how much of Mrs. Pringle’s voice the reader “hears”. Because the play depends on characters telling the story, there is much more dialogue that is assigned to her character. For example, upon hearing that Mr. Farnsworth has canceled, she rants about several things: her seating diagram; Mr. Farnsworth’s excuse; the missed opportunity for Elaine; the threat to her own reputation; and the fact that Elaine is so shy or meek. She speaks on all of these things with only four attempts at interrupting by Elaine and Dunham, who only get in a few lines. On the other hand, in the story, all of her frustrations are stated in about seven short sentences, which is common or to be expected in short stories.
In the play, lines for Elaine and Dunham often do not reveal much of what they’re feeling, except when and after Elaine speaks to the Tuppers and is upset at the mess she’s made in agreeing that they can bring their guests. In the story, we see the effect of Mrs. Pringle’s rants on Dunham when he thinks to himself, “The woman has gone mad.” We get even more detail about his feelings when he cuts into a conversation to announce the arrival of Mr. Morgan “without his usual regard for a butler’s decorum.”

What seems to be Jack London's feeling about people who are more primitive, more in touch with the wild? Pretend you are Jack London, and write a paragraph explaining how you feel about human beings and the wildness that they have inside. Attempt to write your response in the voice and style of Jack London. Base your response on what you read in Chapter 3 it must be 150 words
Answer:he feels like people who are more primitive are way stronger than the weak ones.
Explanation:
People who are more in touch with the wild tend to be stronger. People who are more in touch with the wild also tend to have better coping skills with whatever comes at them. Since they can adapt more they do better and accomplish more. And because those people like to do things the original way like how our ancestors used to live and do stuff. Due to them liking to do things the way people in the past used to do they tend to have more trade skills, so there are also more job options, for them. Because the human mind strives to do more the wild and the power and wisdom that it radiates humans naturally want to learn what it has to offer. So instead of living a simple life people that are drawn to the wild learn to teach themselves how to live in the wild instead.

C.) What her sister's last moments were like
D.) How Jane could have taken them to such a dangerous place
Please answer ill make brainliest thank you!
Answer:
B.) Why that tragedy is remembered so clearly by the public.
Explanation:
The novel "Uprising" by Margaret Peterson Haddix revolves around the lives of a group of immigrant women who were killed in a fire that burned down their workplace. The story delves into the themes of women suffrage, rights, the rich, and the poor, the truth, and also most importantly, the theme of sacrifice and hardships.
Harriet is the daughter of the owner of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory where the fire happened and killed many people, including two of the major protagonists of the story. When the incident occurred, Harriet was just a small child and was not much privy to the details of it. But after she became an adult and is capable of inheriting her father's money, she came to Mrs. Livingstone to ask in detail about the fire and what really happened, "flesh and blood" and not through the newspapers and what people say. She wonders if she can get the money, "blood money" and use it in a better way. But the question that she wants to be answered most is why people seem so interested and focused on the factory while there were other major incidents too.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.

I'm not sure if I understood the question here, but it seems like there's a word missing and you need to fill it with one of the three options. In that case, the correct answer is climax. That is the moment of maximum suspense, where the plot has reached its peak, its turning point. It's the moment of resolution of the problem that has been building up to that very moment.

What does Odysseus do when his men eat the lotus plant that shows the epic hero characteristic of leadership?
A.)He forces his men to leave and continue the journey home.
B.)He sends his best men to investigate the island.
C.)He comes up with a plan to defeat the lotus-eaters.
D.)He instructs his men on how to avoid tasting the lotus.
Answer:
Hello!!! Princess Sakura here ^^
Explanation:
A.)He forces his men to leave and continue the journey home.
When he saw that his men had eaten the lotus plant, Odysseus forces his mean to leave and continue the journey home.
Homer's epic "The Odyssey," tells the story of the hero Odysseus and his men on their journey back home to Ithaca. The story deals with themes of leadership, heroic acts, bravery, resilience, and loyalty, among others.
The scene about the Lotus-eaters is found in the first part of Book IX. 'here, Odysseus revealed that he had sent some men to survey the island. But they did not return, evidently having eaten the lotus given to them by the Lotus-eaters who were the inhabitants of that land. He was able to continue with the journey only after dragging the 'affected' men to the ship and locking them up. This is one characteristic of a hero’s leadership because he did not leave the men behind. Instead, he went there and got them away from the Lotus-eaters, and locking them up until they come back to their senses.Odysseus is a hero as he led his men through the arduous journey to Ithaca. And when he dragged his 'infected men' away from the Lotus-eaters, he saved their lives. Thus, the correct answer is option A).
