It turns into a house of death at the end.

In the play, Hedd Gabler, "the house of life" becomes a hour of death. By the end of the play, Hedda talks Lovborg into committing suicide. She also ends up committing suicide. Because of these deaths, the house turns into one of death. Irony is when something happens that is the opposite of what is expected. Because of Aunt Juliana's statement, the reader does not expect the house to become one of death.

I’ll mark green if answered. How is the book by Gloria Skurzynski’s “Nethergrave” a work of science fiction? I need at least a p

Fed [463]

Answer:

Nethergave falls under the genre of scifi because the protagonist Jeremy jumped into a virtual world to escape the horrible first day of school and ended up being trapped there. Although the book is not in the future , that doesn't mean that the book is a work of science fiction. The fact that his avatar is a jaguar and has all the qualities that he aspires to have proves that the book is fictional because a human can't be a jaguar. And the fact that he's in a virtual world proves that there is some element of science and technology.

In conclusion, Gloria Skurzynski’s “Nethergrave" is nothing short of a wonderful sci-fi narrative.
