It seems she hangs upon the check of night
As a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear'

Antwoorddetails
In these lines, Juliet's beauty is presented "in contrast to the dark night." The lines describe Juliet's appearance using a metaphor, comparing her to a bright torch that illuminates the darkness.

The second line reinforces this contrast by describing Juliet as if she were hanging in the darkness, like a jewel set against a dark background. This contrast emphasizes the purity and brightness of Juliet's beauty, and implies that she stands out even in the darkest of surroundings. Overall, the lines present Juliet's beauty as a shining beacon of light in an otherwise dark world.

Antwoorddetails
In Kunene's A Heritage of Liberation, the weapons are to be preserved for the generation yet unborn by the elders. This means that the older, wiser members of the community are responsible for keeping the tools of liberation (the "weapons") safe and passing them on to future generations. This is because the elders have the experience and knowledge necessary to ensure that the weapons are used for the right purposes and in the right ways. By preserving the weapons, the elders are also preserving the heritage and culture of their people, which is important for maintaining a sense of identity and community. The government or gods are not mentioned as the ones responsible for preserving the weapons in this particular poem.

Antwoorddetails
The literary genre that directly imitates human action is drama. Drama is a type of literature that is performed on stage or screen and portrays characters in a direct and realistic manner. It typically includes dialogue, actions, and stage directions to bring the story to life. Unlike prose and poetry, which are written in a narrative or descriptive style, drama presents characters and events in a way that closely resembles real-life situations. This is achieved through the use of dialogue, which allows the characters to interact with one another and convey their thoughts, feelings, and motivations. Comedy is a genre that aims to entertain and amuse the audience through humor, often by using exaggerated or absurd situations. Although it may involve human action, it is not necessarily a direct imitation of it. Poetry is a genre that uses language to create a specific rhythm, sound, and meaning. While it may draw inspiration from human action, it is not primarily focused on directly imitating it. Prose refers to any form of written or spoken language that is not poetry. It can include a wide variety of genres, such as novels, essays, and biographies. While it may describe or depict human action, it does not necessarily aim to directly imitate it in the way that drama does.

Antwoorddetails
A fable is a story in which animals or things are used as characters. These characters are often given human-like qualities and engage in actions and interactions that convey a moral or lesson. The purpose of a fable is to teach a lesson or make a point about human behavior, and the characters and events in the story are used to illustrate the message.

Antwoorddetails
In literary work, verbal irony refers to a device in which the speaker means the opposite of what they say. Verbal irony occurs when a character says something but means something entirely different. The contrast between what is said and what is meant can create a humorous or sarcastic effect, or it can be used to convey a deeper meaning or message. For example, if a character in a story says "Oh, wonderful!" after something terrible happens, that would be an example of verbal irony because the character does not actually think that the situation is wonderful, but is using sarcasm to express their true feelings.

Antwoorddetails
Drama is a form of literature that represents a complete series of actions through performance. These actions are typically portrayed by actors who use a combination of speech, movement, and gesture to bring the story to life. In the case of drama, the actions are represented through speech, movement, and gesture for the stage, screen, and radio. This means that the actors use their voices to speak the dialogue, their bodies to move around the stage or screen, and their gestures to convey emotion and meaning. While drama can be performed for the stage, it can also be adapted for the screen or radio, depending on the medium in which it is presented. Regardless of the medium, however, drama is always a representation of a complete series of actions through performance. Therefore, the correct option is "speech, movement and gesture for the stage, screen and radio".

Antwoorddetails
In Buchi Emecheta's The Joys of Motherhood, the Ibuza community places a lot of importance on childbirth as a symbol of marital success and fulfillment. The ability to bear children, especially male children, is highly valued and is seen as a measure of a woman's worth and her husband's virility. This emphasis on fertility and procreation puts pressure on women to have children, even if it means sacrificing their own health and well-being. This is exemplified in the character of Nnu Ego, who is driven to desperation in her quest to have children and gain social acceptance in her community. Overall, the Ibuza community's emphasis on childbirth highlights the gendered expectations and power dynamics that exist within traditional African societies.

In George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, Winston writes that the hope of the country lies on the "proles". The proles are the working-class people who make up the majority of the population in Oceania, the fictional country where the story takes place. They are not subject to the same strict rules and regulations as members of the ruling party and have more freedom to live their lives as they see fit. Winston believes that the proles have the potential to rise up against the oppressive party and bring about change in the country. However, he also acknowledges that the proles are largely ignorant and apathetic towards the political situation and may not have the will or ability to overthrow the government. Overall, Winston sees the proles as a possible source of hope for the future, but also recognizes the difficulties and challenges that would come with trying to mobilize them to take action.

Antwoorddetails
A literary work in which the characters and events are used as symbols is known as an allegory. In an allegory, the characters, events, and setting represent ideas or concepts that are larger than the story itself. The characters and events serve as symbols that stand for something beyond their literal meaning. For example, in George Orwell's "Animal Farm," the farm animals symbolize different political factions, and their interactions and power struggles represent the events leading up to the Russian Revolution. The purpose of an allegory is often to make a political or moral point, or to comment on human nature. By using symbols, the writer can convey a message in a way that is more powerful and memorable than if they simply stated it outright.
