<span>1) In 'Inferno' as well as in the rest of 'Divine Comedy', Dante included a lot of elements from Bible and 'The Aeneid' by Vergil. Due to the lots of biblical elements this story can be defined as Biblical fiction and the depiction and meaning of Hell is a direct proof of this fact. Dante made a crossover of biblical and Vergilic elements describing his own personality in both allusional sacred way. </span>

2) Dante included such allusions because he wanted to represent the perception of human evil in its categorization into different realms. He categorized sins and described them gradually by their level of complexity showing that people tend to measure everything even sins that can lead them to the journey to the Hell.

Explanation:

The excerpt presents a situational irony that refers to the situation where something is expected to happen, but the opposite happens. In the case of the excerpt, the reader might be expecting Mrs. Carter to be happy that her daughter was married, happy, and given a new member to the family, who is Mrs. Carter's son-in-law. However, instead of Mrs. Carter being happy to have a new son-in-law, Mrs. Carter was very sad to see her daughter leaving her home and tracing her own path.
