What does the excerpt suggest about dr. jekyll?

read the excerpt from the strange case of dr. jekyll and mr. hyde.

evil besides (which i must still believe to be the lethal side of man) had left on that body an imprint of deformity and decay. and yet when i looked upon that ugly idol in the glass, i was conscious of no repugnance, rather of a leap of welcome. this, too, was myself. it seemed natural and human.

a) he is judgmental about people’s behavior.
b) he is not ashamed of his own “dark” side.
c) he is proud of his professional accomplishments.
d) he is eager to introduce dr. hyde to his friends.

The answer is: B) He is not ashamed of his own “dark” side.

Explanation:

This could probably confuse you, as you can see, the first lines have a negative impact; nevertheless, "no repugnance" "a leap of welcome" "seemed natural and human" are positive lines which restates impact to the negative ones and basically let you know that no matter "the lethal side of man", "body of deformity and decay" "ugly idol in the glass" , he is still not ashamed of his "dark" side.

The other options aren't possible, A. is not judging, is describing the negative and putting the positive later. Letter C. he's not mentioning anything about accomplishments, and D. he isn't showing emotion or excitement to introduce Dr. Hyde to anyone.

explanation:

mrs. mallard has a heart condition, which means that if she's startled she could die. so, when news comes that her husband's been killed in an accident, the people who tell her have to cushion the blow.

mrs. mallard's sister josephine sits down with her and dances around the truth until mrs. mallard finally understands what happened. the deceased mr. mallard's friend, richards, hangs out with them for moral support.

richards originally found out because he had been in the newspaper headquarters when a report of the accident that killed mr. mallard, which happened on a train, came through. richards waited for proof from a second source before going to the mallards' to share the news.

when mrs. mallard finds out what happened she acts differently from most women in the same position, who might disbelieve it. she cries passionately before deciding to go to her room to be by herself.

in her room, mrs. mallard sits down on a comfy chair and feels completely depleted. she looks out the window and looks out at a world that seems alive and fresh. she can see the sky coming between the rain clouds.

mrs. mallard sits still, occasionally crying briefly like a kid might.

the narrator describes her as youthful and pretty, but because of this news she looks preoccupied and absent.

she seems to be holding out for some kind of unknown news or knowledge, which she can tell is approaching.

mrs. mallard breathes heavily and tries to resist before succumbing to this unknown thing, which is a feeling of freedom.

acknowledging freedom makes her revive, and she doesn't consider whether she should feel bad about it.

mrs. mallard thinks to herself about how she'll cry when she sees her husband's dead body and how much he loved her. even so, she's kind of excited about the chance to make her own decisions and not feel accountable to anyone.

mrs. mallard feels even more swept up by the idea of freedom than the fact that she had felt love for her husband.

gilgamesh is an epic hero from birth, as he's brought to the world by the hand of several gods who shaped him with the goal of saving humanity. there's a passage from the text that reads "the glorious sun shamash bestowed upon him glory; adad the terrible god of storms bestowed upon him courage. the great gods perfected his magnificence beyond all others, terrible like the great wild bull". this is a great example that show some of the super-human qualities that the gods gave gilgamesh upon his birth.

as gilgamesh grows he has to face many challenges that put his heroism to task. the courage he displays along the way, prove that he's ready to live up to the godly qualities brought upon him. at one point he has to overcome a wild beast by the name of hubamba "whose roar is a flood, whose mouth is fire, whose breath is death", as the text reads. the actions taken by gilgamesh, beating the beast with the use of his super-human force, examplify why he shoud be thought of as an epic hero.

hope this !
