Question 1 of 22

Suppose a character in a story rises to power by becoming
king. He then becomes greedy and selfish, abandoning the
morals that brought him to his position. As a result, the
fates conspire to strip him of his throne.
Which common literary theme is most likely in this story?
O A. Loss of innocence
OB. Fall from grace
OC. Great journey
D. Noble sacrifice

Answer 1

B. Fall from grace

Step-by-step explanation:

The character gained power and became king, which would be the "grace" in this situation. The archetype of falling from grace involves a character descending in some way, and is usually caused by the character's own actions. In this example, the king's greed and selfishness was the cause of his fall from grace.
