Brueghel and Auden treat the fall of Icarus differently in the sense that Brueghel relies only on visual imagery, but Auden refers to sounds as well.

The fall of Icarus

Both painter Pieter Brueghel and author W. H. Auden chose to portray the famous Greek myth of the fall of Icarus in their work. Icarus was a boy who flew too close to the sun, which melted his wax wings and made him fall to his death.

Since Brueghel paints the scene where Icarus falls into the ocean, he relies solely on visual imagery. On the other hand, in his poem, Auden describes the scene, which means he uses not only visual but also sound elements:

"Have heard the splash, the forsaken cry,"

The verbs "splash" and "cry" make us imagine or, better yet, hear the sounds of Icarus falling to his death. With this in mind, we can choose option C as the correct answer.
