Of Homer’s two epic poems, the Odyssey has always been more popular than the Iliad, perhaps because it includes more features of mythology that are accessible to readers. Its subject (to use Maynard Mack’ s categories) is "life-as- spectacle," for readers, diverted by its various incidents, observe its hero Odysseus primarily from without; the tragic Iliad, however, presents "life-as-experience," readers are asked to identify with the mind of Achilles, whose motivations render him a not particularly likable hero. In addition, the Iliad, more than the Odyssey, suggests the complexity of the gods’ involvement in human actions, and to the extent that modern readers find this complexity a needless complication, the Iliad is less satisfying than the Odyssey, with its simpler scheme of divine justice. Finally, since the Iliad presents a historically verifiable action. Troy’s siege, the poem raises historical questions that are absent from the Odyssey’ s blithely imaginative world. [br] It can be inferred from the passage that a reader of the Iliad is likely to have trouble identifying with the poem’s hero for which of the following reasons?
选项
A、The hero’s emotions are not sufficiently various to engage the reader’s attention.
B、The hero can be observed by the reader only from without.
C、The hero’s psychology is not historically verifiable.
D、The hero’s emotions often do not seem appealing to the reader.
答案
D
解析
作者在第一句“Of Homer’s two epic poems,the Odyssey has always been more popular than the Iliad,perhaps because it includes more features of mythology that are accessible to readers.”就写出了Iliad没有Odyssey流行,因为Odyssey包含更多的神话特征,文章后面,作者认为Iliad的主人公不是一个特别可爱的人物。
