Descartes was most concerned with the problem of skepticism and uncertainty in knowledge.

What does reject the status qua mean?

I think you mean "status quo"-- which means the same old way of doing things, or refers to keeping things the same, conforming or going along with the way everyone has always done something. To reject the status quo means to be unwilling to keep doing things the same old way, and to advocate for new ways of doing things.

What is the Direct Characterization for Madame Loisel in The Necklace by guy de maupassant?

I think Madame Loisel was very bipolar in the story. She was very selfish and she cared about the luxuries and finery jewelery. She wouldn't appreciate what she has and expected more. i think madame forestier was very unkind because she didnt give back the necklace to Loisel even after working off the debt for 10 years.


O you think Mme Loisel recognized good quality jewelry?

yes


When she finds herself in debt madame loisel plays her part with sudden heroism what does she do that might be called heroic why might those actions seem surprising the story the necklace?

is this right? Both Mathilde and her husband go nearly broke trying to replace the lost necklace. Mathilde's determination to pay off her debt does show heroism. She no longer longs for a life of riches. She understands that coveting things that she cannot have comes at a price. I think Mathilde becomes a little more humble and her husband supports his wife to the end.


Is it true that Maupassant obviously wants the reader to think Mathilde is a very bad person with no redeeming qualities?

False Not entirely. Mme. Loisel has the good quality that she is willing to live in poverty for ten years in order to replace the necklace she lost. Nevertheless, this good quality is only brought out by her bad qualities of vanity, pride, and dishonesty.
