Answer:

The dramatic irony in the end is that the life of the protagonist's husband caused her death.

Explanation:

This question is about the short story "The Story of an Hour". At the beginning of the reading, we learned that the protagonist just received the news that her husband died. At that moment, we are led to believe, by the narration, that she is deeply sad, especially when the narration states that "She did not hear the story as many women have heard the same, with a paralyzed inability to accept its significance." However, we learned, throughout the story, that the character is very happy, because her husband's death means her freedom. She is so happy that she gets a big shock when she finds out that he is alive. This shock causes her to die shortly thereafter.

Vesna [10]
<span>“How horrible it would be . . . if she were condemned to be the plain, shy Millicent of a few years back.” - Direct characterization. The speaker explicitly says that Milicent now isn't plain and shy, and that would be a condemnation to her.

</span><span>“Betsy Johnson, the vivacious blonde secretary of the sorority” - Direct characterization. We can see Betsy and we get some information about her character (vivacious).

</span><span>“Walking beside Louise on the way to the drugstore, Millicent felt a surge of pride.” - Indirect characterization. The speaker doesn't say that Milicent is this or that kind of person. He/she just puts her in a context, commenting on her current feelings and thus allowing the reader to make a vague conclusion about her character.

</span><span>“Bev was suddenly there in the doorway. ‘Wipe that smile off your face,’ she commanded.” - Indirect characterization. Again, the speaker here describes this character's action, rather than features and character traits.</span>

How does the description of the clock contribute to the development of the story’s theme(s)? Cite evidence in your answer.
Klio2033 [76]

Answer: As the very theme of the story is the absurdity of trying to escape death, the clock serves as a reminder that death is inevitable. It symbolizes the passage of time.

Explanation:

<em>"The Masque of the Red Death"</em> is Edgar Allan Poe's short story, in which a group of thousand people, including Prince Prospero, lock themselves down in an abbey. They want to be safe during the deadly pestilence (Red Death).

In the story, The Seven Rooms of the abbey represent seven stages of life. In the Seventh Room, "against the western wall", there is "a gigantic clock of ebony." The Ebony Clock serves as a symbol of death and its inevitability, while its swinging pendulum symbolizes the passage of time. When an hour passes by, the clock chimes, and everyone listens to it, aware that they have lost an hour of their life and that death is approaching. Prince and his people could not stop the pendulum from swinging - similarly, they cannot escape death.
