Answer:

The first section of an elegy expresses sorrow for the deceased.

The last section of an elegy expresses consolation and comfort.

Explanation:

Elegies are narrative poems written after the death of a person. This poem acts as a means to mourn the death or passing of that person, and acts as a mournful song for the deceased.

Elegies are normally written in such a way that the beginning part expresses the pain and sorrow felt by the speaker at the death of the person. It then moves on to express consolation and comfort towards the end of the poem. Most famous elegies are "O Captain! My Captain!" by Walt Whitman written for Abraham Lincoln and W.H. Auden's "In Memory of W.B. Yeats".

Which of these details best illustrates a contradiction in Okonkwo’s character?
valentinak56 [21]
The detail which best illustrates a contradiction in Okonkwo's character is that he waits up with Ekwefi while their daughter is with the priestess. The correct option is B. Okonkwo is a great warrior in his village and a very rich man. He loves showing his masculinity by shying away from anything that will allow him to show his tender emotions and he always make jest of men who relate lovingly with their wives. Okonkwo waited up with one of his wives when their daughter was sick and she was been taken care of by a priestess. This action shows another side of Okonkwo, who normally will make jest of any man who do that.
