Answer:

The rhetorical device that Mark Twain uses in the excerpt is irony.

Explanation:

Irony is a rhetorical device that uses an event or situation that is deliberately contrary to what one expects. It is used to create emphasis and to stress the intensity and exceptional quality of a given situation or event.  In the case of this excerpt, Mark Twain uses the irony of being in danger while lying in bed. Being in your home and in your bed is generally considered to be a place where you are safe from harm. He seems to suggest in this passage that traveling by train is safer than being at home in bed.

How do Mary Shelley's allusions to Milton's Paradise Lost in the novel Frankenstein help readers interpret the story?
AURORKA [14]

The correct answer is the option A) They contrast Victor's creation with God's creation of man.  Mary Shelley uses references of "<em>Paradise Lost</em>" by Milton, in the figure of the monster who reads the story, to contrast him with Adan. The monster reads the story and he felt a connection between Adan, the creation of God but at the same time, he knew that he is different.

There is an important connection as both creatures (the monster and Adan) were created by a perfect image of their creators but there is a clear distinction between them. In the case of "<em>Paradise Lost</em>" God creates Eva to give company to Adan but in the case of the monster he is alone in the world and Frankenstein refused to create another monster to give him company.

Another important difference is that God creations are natural and therefore normal while the monster that is made by the human is not. God protects his creature and makes him happy but Frankenstein abandon the creature and make him unhappy and lonely.
