<p>avonlea, i agree with your reading, but disagree with the answer. the question asks what is the point of the ** image **. that image is to be juxtaposed against the imperfect, the hot paradise within us. although the point of the poem is to show us that it isn’t perfect, that image starts out as defining perfection. </p>
<p>galls-i don’t remember an answer choice for desire, but i think i put the one about ire and something else. it didn’t make sense to me in context for the speaker to admit to being bold and unashamed like the men, because the gall sort of represented the flaw that causes the revenge. bold an unashamed didn’t sound like a cause. oh, and flaw is another definition for gall. however, i think you could very well be right avonlea. wait, actually, disregard all of that. avonlea is right.</p>
<p>What did you put for ‘what is best representative of the revenge being discussed in this passage?’, and ‘what can be taken to mean the fall within the passage?’</p>
<p>I put revenge for the ‘fall’. my first thought was adultery, but when i reread the passage, i couldn’t find any hints about infidelity or anything, so i went with revenge (actually, i’m not too clear on this. was revenge even an answer choice?)</p>
<p>i put desires for ‘what is best taken to mean ‘affections’ in this passage’ question.</p>
<p>oh, and one more thing. what about the scant our former in despite question? what did you guys put for that?</p>
<p>Here is the passage:
</p>
<p>NVM: it is adultery (“change us for others”)</p>
