  • Q3
    (Paragraph 3)Yes, a golden goblet is a worthy gift. (He laughs.) Yet soon Perseus will come with no gift. He is penniless but loaded with pride, which I intend to use to my good. I have devised a plan to marry his mother, Danae, who so far has refused me. Yes, the trap is set. Soon Danae will be mine. (He raises his fist to indicate victory.) Paragraph 3 is important to the story because it shows that King Polydectes
    is willing to ask Danae one more time to marry him
    will use his clever thinking to make Danae his wife.
    wants to see how brave Perseus is.
    expects Perseus will convince his mother to marry the king.
