One example of dramatic irony comes when the old soothsayer visits the King. Oedipus ridicules the man because he's blind, and Tiresias in a fit of anger tells the king that though he can see he is "blind" to the truth. When Oedipus becomes blind, he finally realizes the truth of the man's words. Irony is also to be found in the fact that it is the blind man who truly sees.

Oedipus confesses what really happens. Oedipus said that he lashed out in rage, because the driver of Lauis's charriage forced him off the road or tried to and he lashed out and killed thme all but the servant said it was a group of theives, because Oedipus actually killed Lauis. This is ironic, because Oedipus confessed what really happened to Lauis.

Excerpt from "The Bells"
Alex Ar [27]
The answer is B. "Frightened."

You can draw the conclusion that the author is trying to communicate a frightened tone by the diction of the stanza. The following line of the text states: "In the silence of the night, How we shiver with affright..." This is a very telling detail that supports the idea that the author's tone was meant to be frightening.

What does the mayflower compact explicitly say? es does it suggest through its careful dection or word choice and use of imagery
AveGali [126]
I would say that the answer would be that it is a written agreement composed by a consensus of the new Settlers arriving at New Plymouth in November of 1620. The compact held the first written laws for the new land, and determined authority within the settlement.
