Use the woodcut below to answer the following question: Black and white engraving of a man in a traditional abbot’s robe who is looking upward and holding a book with his left hand while his right arm extends and pushes the back of a skeleton. The skeleton is holding a sword over his shoulder and tugging at the man's robe with his left fist. Public Domain Why is there such a contrast between the expressions on the faces of the two figures? Because the man is afraid of Death, but Death is happy to have another victim Because the man is resisting Death, who is struggling to bring him along Because Death is sad to see a frightened man die in his prime Because Death feels good at having so many souls to take with him
