The poetic technique illustrated throughout the entire poem "Happiness Epidemic" is called conceit, which is a type of metaphor, as further explained below.

<h3>What is conceit in literature?</h3>

The poetic technique known as conceit is a type of metaphor, which means it compares two different things with the objective of emphasizing an idea. Conceit is a longer, complex type of metaphor.

In the poem "Happiness Epidemic," the conceit consists of comparing:

  • Mainly: Happiness to a disease.
  • Also: Our hearts to a house and sorrow to a funerary service.

As we can see, conceit is used in the entire poem. All stanzas rely on the comparison. Therefore, we can conclude that option C is the correct answer.

Why is John Wilson not fit to judge Hester Prynne's crime?
wel

He is not fit because he will not judge the crime rationally, but based on his own religious convictions, without observing the facts.

Although you haven't shown it, we can see that this question refers to the book "The Scarlet Letter."

We can reach this answer because:

  • John Wilson has a strong religious bias.
  • He represents pure Puritanism and in its most retrograde form.
  • Therefore, he is not willing to evaluate the evidence of Hester Prynne's crime critically and rationally, but will judge it based on his own concepts and opinions.
  • Therefore, he will not make a fair trial.

It is important to remember that "The Scarlet Letter" tells the story of a woman who conceived a child outside of marriage and who lives in a puritan society, where she is harassed and seen as a criminal.
