This semester, with some trepidation, I decided to take a class on Shakespeare's tragedies. I appreciate that Ms. Robertson establishes clear expectations for students: the course requirements are rigorous but fair. On the first day of class, she handed out a detailed syllabus listing all the required readings, In-class projects, homework assignments, and tests. The course is definitely challenging, but in a good way, and Ms. Robertson is always very supportive and encouraging. Select the two words that are most similar in meaning to rigorous as it is used in the passage.

d. murder of a son and cooking the son for a feast

procne murdered her son and served him to tereus, her husband and her son's father. she did this out of revenge. tereus raped her sister, philomela, and cut her tongue out to keep her from talking. philomela managed to communicate it to procne and procne sought revenge.

tantalus murdered his son and fed him to the gods because he was angry with the gods. the gods punished him by putting him in a pool of water that evaporates when he tries to drink and having fruit hang just out of his reach.

c) vampires in history and modern life.
