Question

a play brimming with linguistic superfluity and spectacular gore, john marstons antonios revenge (1599) has been portrayed by critics as everything from a brilliant burlesque of revenge tragedies to a grotesquely overwrought literary disaster. while the play is, as the title might suggest a revenge tragedy, the degree to which its author intended it to be seriously received as one is a matter of persistent critical contention. part of this confusion lies in the plays notorious excesses in language, characterization, and violence. the plays bizarre ending is especially problematic: in the final act, antonio and his friends not only torture and kill the villainous piero, they also murder and cook an innocent child. instead of being punished, however, these revengers are heaped with praise and offered rewards before announcing their plans to become religious hermits. while some critics argue that this ending reveals marstons own personal sadistic bent, others simply see it as evidence of his lack of skills as a dramatist. t.s. eliot, for example, has noted that this play, along with its predecessor antonio and mellida, give the effect of work done by a man who was so exasperated by having to write in a form he despised that he deliberately wrote worse than he could have written, in order to relieve his feelings. eliots notion of marston writing to relieve his feelings is not without merit; antonio spends the entirety of antonios revenge either describing his feelings in challenge question whats this in paragraph 3, the author describes the line in which antonio imagines his brain “digesting” his thoughts. if corporeal means relating to the body, then this particular line is said to present “a doubly corporeal image” because a the stomach is usually understood to be the organ involved in digestion, but instead the brain takes on this task b in the renaissance, negative emotions like rage and lust supposedly arose from the liver, not the brain c the brain was traditionally thought of as the location of the soul, which was supposedly virtuous

Explanation:

Explicaciones breves:

La línea presenta una imagen corporal doble porque el cerebro, que no es el órgano comúnmente asociado con la digestión (que es el estómago), está realizando una función corporal (digestión) en el contexto del pensamiento. Esto combina dos aspectos corporales: la idea de digestión y el hecho de que es el cerebro el que la realiza.

Respuesta:

A. el estómago es generalmente entendido como el órgano involucrado en la digestión, pero en cambio el cerebro asume esta tarea
