How does the author characterize Theseus in the story? Cite evidence from the text in your
response.

The author portrays Theseus as a flawed human being. In early adventures, Theseus proved that he was a 'hero' but it wasn't until he slew the minotaur he became a legend, the living embodiment of braveness. However the author also made sure to mention that he deserted Princess Ariadne and even killed her father without much thought in order to allow the reader to understand that this so called hero although brave is far from perfect.

hope it helps!!!

Explanation:

The author depicts Theseus as a human being marred by imperfections. In his early years, he was described as very keen for adventures and he had great determination to become a hero. Theseus insisted on taking the unsafe land route rather than following the secured sea route to Athens, this illustrates his adventurous spirit and the inclination to make a name for himself. Initially, it was regarded as reckless but later translated as being heroic when he subdued all the bandits along the way including minotaur.

explanation:

you only need simple sentences to answer this. just answer these questions.

what do you think annie thinks of the mother? do you think annie believes the mother is a fit mother for helen.

what about the father? what would annie think of him? she might not like him, but does she respect him.

how about the son? would annie think he is the only voice of sanity in an insane place?

what about helen herself? this is the key question. how does she see helen? what do you suppose she thought her first job was going to be.

these aren't hard questions. just state the obvious. annie is not that well educated: she just knows what she has to do. write it that way.

you can do it if you've read the book or seen the play or movie.
