The correct answer is “the cough's a mere nothing; it will not kill me. I shall not die of a cough.”. Taken from the short story “<em>The Cask of Amontillado</em>” by Edgar Allan Poe (1846), the part of the excerpt mentioned above that uses irony is the one that narrates the moment when Fortunato tells Montresor that he has a cold before going down into the catacombs, but Montresor <u>already knows how Fortunato's end will be</u>. <em>Irony </em>is a figure of speech through which words are used in a way that their intended meaning is different from the actual meaning. The use of irony in this part of this excerpt can be spotted when Montresor replies, "<em>True —true.</em>" to Fortunato, since he knows it is <em>true that Fortunato shall not die of a cough</em>.

Decide whether each quotation is an example of direct or indirect characterization. “How horrible it would be . . . if she were
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>

In literature, a foil is a character who serves as a contrast to the protagonist or another important character. This contrast o
Svetllana [295]
To highlight a character's (usually the protagonist's) personality, the introduction of a foil is used. In Shakespeare's 'Hamlet', Laertes is Hamlet's foil. They were childhood friends but have completely opposite traits and behaviors: Hamlet is verbal, he ponders, and is driven by passionate inaction, Laertes is physical, blusters, and is driven by passionate action. 

In Act IV, scene V, we can see Laerts personality; he bursts and needs people to calm him down, whereas Hamlet would have stayed calm and think before acting.
