Notes from Underground: How do the opening lines of "Notes From Underground" prepare us for w hat is to come? What are Underground Man's reasons for rejecting enlightenment views of human psychology and progress? Hedda Gabler. Why is Hedda's life so intolerable to her? (I'm not asking for a summary of her life plus the statement "this was intolerable to her" Why is it so intolerable to her?) How are the two least important figures in the play. Thea Elvsted and Judge Brack, decisive in bringing about its outcomes?

Explanation / Answer

The conventional wisdom is that social change takes place gradually, thanks to the actions of far-sighted political leaders, acting on behalf of the masses of people. The end of chattel slavery in America tells a different story. To abolish this terrible crime, it took an immense Civil War--and the Reconstruction period in the South that followed the war was the setting for a dramatic struggle to assure the equality of former slaves. This is how slavery brought to an end.
