The irony of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet's ironically extreme measures to get their daughters well-married can be seen when Mrs. Bennet says <span><em>"What an excellent father you have, girls!" said [Mrs. Bennet], when the door was shut.</em> <em>"I do not know how you will ever make him amends for his kindness; or me, either, for that matter. At our time of life it is not so pleasant, I can tell you, to be making new acquaintances every day; but for your sakes, we would do anything."</em> This remark is ironically false because meeting new people everyday is not demanding at all, but she is trying to sell themselves as over-sacrificing parents for the future spouses of their daughters.</span>

What is considered one of the first magical realist story?
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Franz Kafka’s <em>The Metamorphosis</em>

Explanation:

Magical realism is a literary genre that depicts the real world with elements of magic or fantasy. Although it is most commonly associated with Latin American authors, the first example of magical realism is considered to be <em>The Metamorphosis </em>- a novella written by Franz Kafka. It tells the story of a salesman Gregor Samsa, who wakes one morning to find himself transformed into a huge insect and afterward struggles to adjust to his new form.

Some of the elements of stories that belong to the magical realism are:

  • realistic setting
  • magical elements
  • limited information - the magic remains unexplained in order to normalize it as much as possible and make it feel like a part of everyday life.
  • critique - magical realism is often used to criticize society.
  • unique plot structure - there is often no clear beginning, middle, and end, which provides the reader with an intense reading experience.
