Read the passage from 1 Henry VI (act 2, scene 3) and answer the question that follows.


Is this the scourge of France?

Is this the Talbot, so much fear'd abroad

That with his name the mothers still their babes?

I see report is fabulous and false:

I thought I should have seen some Hercules,

A second Hector, for his grim aspect,

And large proportion of his strong-knit limbs.

Alas, this is a child, a silly dwarf!

It cannot be this weak and writhled shrimp

Should strike such terror to his enemies. n Greek mythology, Hector was the greatest fighter in the city of Troy. Hercules was a fictional Roman hero known for his strength and far-ranging adventures.
