The novel “Prisoner of Zenda” is very interesting because is full of adventures and I am happy to that good triumphs over evil in the end. There a lot of suspense as Duke Michael schemes to King Rudolf . I find his “Famous Six” bodyguards intimidating. They represent everything that is cruel, wicked, evil made remarkable villains in the story.
I admire Princess for choosing duty and honour over love. It must a very painful experience to give up the person loves but she has done what is right and . The real King needs her to help him rule .
I find the exchange of the gift of a red rose once a year a symbol of real . It is a very touching and poignant moment in story and it reminds us that true love needs .

In the novel “The Prisoner of Zenda” , a that I dislike the most is Duke of Michael. is a very cruel person who has a secret to usurp the throne and make himself the King Ruritania.
He is merciless and ruthless towards anyone who in his way. He orders Rudolf to be killed. is a devious schemer who is treacherous even to own brother. He keeps his brother as a prisoner Castle of Zenda.
He is also unfaithful in love, evidenced by his courting of Antoinette de Mauban while to get Princess Flavia to marry him. He was jealous of his brother, the King, who was betrothed the beautiful Princess Flavia.
He is a coward and who hid behind his bodyguards , the Famous Six, protect him as well as to carry out his plans.
Passage 5

In the novel the Prisoner of Zenda , the I dislike is Black Michael. \
I dislike Black because he is treacherous. He captures the King and him prosoner at Zenda. What he plans to do to dethrone him at the right moment. By doing , he would be able to become the King himself. is treacherous as he is willing to do that his own brother.
Another reason why I dislike Black is because he is merciless. He will kill anyone tries to stand in his way. For example , , the loyal servant to the King, is nearly beheaded he attempted to save the Kingl. Josef’s neck has deep red wound on it. His head was nearly off.
Lastly, i dislike him because he is a . He is very good at pretending so that in eyes of the public, he has done nothing wrong. is a man who hides his feelings. Nobody knows he really feels. He goes around with hatred in eyes but with a smile on his lips.
Based the reasons given above, that is why I dislike Michael

He is also very brave to go after of Hentzau even though he is badly hurt. During coronation procession, he commands his guards to ride fifty ahead of him . He dares to ride alone though he knows that it is very dangerous for to do so.
Rudolf Rassendyll is also a honourable and very loyal to his duty. For instance, he rescue plans to save the King even though he in love with Princess Flavia and wants her for . In other words, he could just let Black Michael the King instead of helping him so that he be the King and Princess Flavia his Queen but honour would not let him do so. He feels it is his responsibility to save the King.
In , Rassendyll is also very loyal to his duty and to sacrifice whatever he owns. Despite loving Princess Flavea much , he is willing to sacrifice his love he knows he must put honour before love. Because these reasons, I definitely like this character the most to other characters.

ReplyDeleteDear Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteThank you for asking. If you haven't noticed, this is supposed to be a gap-filling exercise. You have to read the sentences and identify the place where you need to insert suitable word. So sorry for not giving you the complete version.. but this is what students are supposed to do... do it on your own with some help from the teachers....
Good Luck!
thank you......
