Mistakes of her lies that were addressed to her spouse about secrets

Explanation:

Portia was lying to her spouse about her secrets but not inappropriate way. Her lies were full of mistakes that were visible and that is what was leading her to death and tragic autodestruction. There is also a sense of guilt and bad feelings which were too much for Portia.

He is telling her that she is his true and honorable wife and that is hurting her a lot inside which is leading to death.

Portia's tragic flaw of lying to her spouse about her secrets leads to her death by sui cide.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's tragic play "Julius Caesar" revolves around the death of Caesar and the subsequent fight for power among the remaining forces. The initial conspirators including Cassius and Brutus were also later killed in the story.

The character of Portia may have been a minor one, being rarely seen nor mentioned but as the wife of Brutus, she also acts as one of the influencing characters to her husband. She was seen imploring to her husband to reveal why he was acting strange and different in Act II scene i but then, in Act IV scene iii, Brutus reveals the death of Portia. This death of his wife may have grieved him but as the next scenes will reveal, he did not let it hinder his plans to go to war against the combined forces of Antony and Octavius.

The tragic element of Portia lying to her husband about her secret, that is, hiding the self-inflicted wound, seems to refer to the permanent wound of death that will be inflicted on her by her own husband's secret. Brutus did not reveal his secret to her and while being worried about the growing strength of Octavius and Antony, Portia killed herself. This concealing of her secret have led to her sui cide in the later scene.

Which two parts of this excerpt from mary shelley’s frankenstein reveals information about the setting? (it was on a dreary night of november that i beheld the accomplishment of my toils.) with an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, (i collected the instruments of life around me, that i might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. it was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out) when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, i saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs. (how can i describe my emotions at this catastrophe), or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care i had endeavored to form? his limbs were in proportion, and i had selected his features as beautiful. beautiful! great god! (his yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; ) but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same color as the dun-white sockets in which they were set, his shriveled complexion and straight black lips.

(select all that apply.)the war of the worldsthe narrator is comforted by the oncoming evening, as reflected in the setting details. for example, he says the martians are invisible. the narrator is distressed by the deceptive quiet of the evening, as reflected in the setting details. for example, he still sees smoke from the widespread destruction. the setting details to reveal the narrator's feelings of both relief and apprehension. for example, although the martians are not seen any longer, the remnants of the attack are still quite visible, and it's not clear whether the danger is over. the setting details reflect the narrator's feelings of both fascination and relief. for example, although one of the martians' odd tools is still visible, the creatures themselves no longer pose a threat.
