What is an example of situational irony in the excerpt? “‘Her great tragedy happened just three years ago,’ said the child; ‘tha

t would be since your sister’s time.’” “‘Her tragedy?’ asked Framton; somehow in this restful country spot tragedies seemed out of place.” “She rattled on cheerfully about the shooting and the scarcity of birds, and the prospects for duck in the winter. To Framton it was all purely horrible.” “‘I hope you don’t mind the open window,’ said Mrs. Sappleton briskly; ‘my husband and brothers will be home directly from shooting, and they always come in this way.’”

Answer:

"She rattled on cheerfully about the shooting and the scarcity of birds, and the prospects for duck in the winter. To Framton it was all purely horrible."

Explanation:

From the book "The Open Window" by Saki, there is a narrative of Framton waiting for Mrs Sappleton and during his wait, he gets talking with her niece who informs him that there was a tragedy that happened.

She tells him that Mrs Sappleton's husband and two brothers went out for hunting but never came back but since the incident, Mrs Sappleton is still not over the shock and acts as if they would walk in anytime that's why she always leaves the window open till dusk, waiting for them.

This is an example of a situational irony because a situational irony is a type of irony in which the action has an opposite effect on what is intended.

Framton's discovery of the tragedy by the niece is an opposite of what he expected when he came looking for Mrs Sappleton.

Which elements keep you most interested in a fictional book? Check any that apply.
Kazeer [188]
Well, it depends on the genre of that non-fictional book. For instance, a mystery book would make the audience interested if there was an unsolved mystery included, but an adventure book, for instance, might hook the reader if it was actually based on historical events and something like the book described had actually happened. Therefore, for a fictional book, I would say all of these interest me depending on the type of book.
