Gulliver using his glasses as a shield in a military operation while the Blefuscudians shot arrows at Gulliver's face and neck in Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels. This situation described as an ironic situation because Gulliver did not defend his face and neck from the arrow. He rather defends his eyes using the glasses.

Irony refers to a literary device in which what appears to be the case on the surface is radically different from what is actually the case. In this example, Swift's glasses are made of glass, which in theory is not a resistant material and would most likely make a very bad shield. However, the irony is that the glasses actually protect Swift's eyes effectively, despite their fragile nature.

Who says the following and why (from "Most Dangerous Game")?
Anton [14]

Answer and Explanation:

<u>In the short story "The Most Dangerous Game", the character Zaroff is the one who says "That's the trouble with these sailors; they have dull brains to begin with, and they do not know  how to get about in the woods. They do excessively stupid and obvious things. It's most  annoying." The reason why general Zaroff says the words is because, the previous night, he had been hunting a man, a sailor. That man was easily caught and killed, which made the whole deal boring for Zaroff.</u>

Those lines were taken from a conversation between the general and another hunter, Rainsford, the main character. Zaroff has invited Rainsford to hunt with him, but Rainsford refuses to kill men. The general does not see what he does as murder. He's grown bored of killing animals incapable of reasoning, which is why he has decided to kill other human beings. He likes the challenge.
