	It retells the Greek epic Odyssey using contemporary language and examples.  
	
	The epic hero of the past, Odysseus, is modernized and replaced by Leopold Bloom.
	
	The novel is extremely lengthy, and an omniscient third-person narrator tells the story.
	
	the issues dealt with in Ulysses are the same of those dealt with in Odyssey.
	Respondido em 28/04/2022 15:24:14
	
	Explicação:
Ulysses is structured and presents parallels with the epic Odyssey, with the same themes as exile and homecoming, but the adventures and issues are adapted to the modern individual, they are not the same. It keeps parallels with the Odyssey, but it is not a retelling of it in modern language. The epic hero in Odyssey is replaced by an anti-hero in Ulysses. It is a lengthy novel, in which there is a variety of styles and modes of narration.

	The narrative strategy called stream-of-consciousness, much employed by modernist writers, tries to reproduce the free association of ideas within the mind of a character. The development of a field of knowledge greatly influenced this literary technique. Which is this field?
 
		
	
	Archetypes
	
	Svolution theory
	
	Symbolic thought
	
	Mysticism
	 
	Psychoanalysis
	Respondido em 28/04/2022 15:05:48
	
	Explicação:
The clinical method of psychoanalysis encompasses many practices, and free association is one of them. Fragments of memories emerge in the course of free association, giving an insight into the unconscious mind. The evolution theory, archetypes and mysticism are issues that might be present in the fictional texts but are not associated with the use of the stream-of-consciousness.

Right answer: Scottish Renaissance
Feedback: In Scotland, Modernism was synonymous with a cultural revival that took place in the country after the end of the First World War. The literary movement, called the Scottish Renaissance, rescued and revitalized native languages as Scots and Gaelic, reworked traditions, oral literature and folkloric tropes, using modernist aesthetics. The term Scottish Revival is associated with a 19th century Romantic movement of cultural nationalism, the terms Scottish Gothic and Scottish Enlightenment refer to a romantic genre and the scientific and intellectual development in the 18th and early 19th centuries, respectively. Scottish metamodernism is a term used by the post-postmodernism literature, characterized by the employment of modernist and postmodernist elements in contemporary works of Scottish literature.

	Jeanette Winterson is one of the most important feminine voices that gained prominence in the end of the twentieth century. Her works tend to be regarded as examples of postmodern fictions, as discussions about history as representation, as well as approximations between facts and fiction are present in her writings. Besides, she has become one of the greatest representatives of queer literature.  Jeanette Winterson¿s novels can be seen as types of queer fiction because they:
		
	
	explore the difficulties that heterosexuals have in accepting different sexual orientations.
	 
	emphasize the importance of seeing gays as marginalized individuals.
	
	compare and contrast the characteristics of gay and lesbian communities.
	 
	serve as a response to the representation of traditional sexual identities.
	
	focus on the desire of gay and lesbian people to become adjusted to society.
	Respondido em 28/04/2022 15:37:22
	
	Explicação:
Right answer: serve as a response to the representation of traditional sexual identities.
Feedback: In general terms, queer fiction questions conventions of sexuality, exploring a variety of representations beyond a heteronormative discourse. They actually protest against limitations of heteronormative discourse. General ideas about the "gay movement" are sometimes opposed by the "queer viewpoint". While the gay community may struggle to be accepted by society, queerness has to do with marking their difference, adopting, this way, an anti-assimilationist position. Therefore, they neither emphasize the importance of seeing gays as marginalized individuals, nor compare and contrast the characteristics of gay and lesbian communities. Furthermore, exploring the difficulties that heterosexuals have in accepting different sexual orientations or focusing on the desire of gay and lesbian people to become adjusted to society are not queer fiction's purpose.

	Romantic women poets were well respected, popular and widely read during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, but their works were not easily found after the late nineteenth century and before 1980s they were scarcely studied by academics or students. Why were they erased from the literary canon for so long?
		
	
	Because the themes of their works were domestic and referred to their private lives.
	
	Because male writers and poets outnumbered women in the Romantic period.
	
	Because their works were not considered qualified literary texts by the critics.
	
	Because of their lack of formal education, their literary resources were limited.
	 
	Because of cultural disabilities imposed on women, seen as subordinate beings.
	Respondido em 28/04/2022 15:07:39
	
	Explicação:
Women's history is one of usurpation and injustice. They were seen as subordinate social beings, dependent on men, either husbands, fathers or brothers. Many cultural disabilities were imposed on women, as well as lack of education from the nineteenth century onwards. This status started to change with the feminist waves that shook the western world in the 20th century. But many brilliant talented women writers were forgotten, and their writings had to wait for a long time to be recognized and adequatelyresearched and studied. The reasons for such an erasure are not linked to the themes of the writings, as the domestic spheres and their private lives or the quality of their writings, and not even the number of male and female writers in the Romantic period.

	Some of Coleridge¿s poems present ___________elements, as in The Rhyme of Ancient Mariner, part IV: They groaned, they stirred, they all uprose/ Nor spake, nor moved their eyes/It had been strange, even in a dream/to have seen those dead men rise. 
		
	
	sentimental.
	 
	supernatural.
	
	natural.
	
	emotional.
	
	rational.
	Respondido em 28/04/2022 15:08:24
	
	Explicação:
Coleridge preferred the dark side of Romanticism, with the beautiful but destructive power of nature, and mysterious elements that are not natural, but infused with a supernatural energy, instead. In the excerpt, the poet describes dead men moving, groaning and stirring. Concerning the other adjectives, natural, emotional and sentimental are normally associated with romantic poetry, while rational is a characteristic of neoclassical poetry.
