Respuesta :

Answer:

Hercules was gifted with amazing strength and it caused problems that he had to deal with. He had to overcome the obstacles and the chance that he may hurt someone and be punished because he couldn't control his strength. Allusions to Hercules: In Shakespeare's Hamlet, Prince Hamelt compares himself to Hercules.

Albert Einstein (1879-1955), a German-born American mathematician, serves as a literary allusion to intelligence. Einstein formulated the theory of relativity, and was awarded the Nobel Prize for physics in 1921. He is often considered the greatest scientist of the 20th century. Many movie producers over the years have taken advantage of the literary allusion that comes out of the name Einstein. For example, in the movie The Observer (1998), they say, “It’s a neat theory, but you don’t have to be Einstein to spot some serious flaws” (qtd. in Delahunty, Dignen, and Stock 216). What this movie line is implying is that a person does not have to be a comprehensive genius like Einstein to realize that there is something wrong with their theory. A lot of people compare their intelligence to Einstein’s, Einstein’s being the most intelligent.

Answer:

If you think of a brave person, you might think of different people. For example, Hercules was brave and he showed this by his impressive feats of strength and daring. Einstein, however, wasn't the strongest and he wasn't a demigod, but he was brave do tell his ideas and to persevere through hardships. Bravery can look very different from person to person.
