er the question below: How was this vile nervous fit, for such I now persuaded myself it was, to be conquered? I determined to force myself not to look at the painting but to undress quickly and get into bed. I began to undress, but in spite of every effort I could not keep myself from stealing a glance every now and then at the picture; and a glance was now sufficient to distress me. Even when my back was turned to it, the idea of this strange face behind me, peering over my shoulder, was insufferable. What effect does the tone of the excerpt have on the reader?
a. It produces shivers down the spine, or a feeling of unease.
b. It fosters a belief that the narrator is unreliable.
c. It encourages surprising delight in blood and gore.
d. It inspires confidence that everything will work out fine in the end.

Answer:

a. It produces shivers down the spine, or a feeling of unease.

Explanation:

Washington Irving's "The Adventure of the Mysterious Picture" is a gothic story where the characters staying in the house were talking, sharing stories of haunted places. And the host of the house had 'in jest' said that one of the rooms was haunted, so the her of the nigh will be revealed the next morning after they had all spent their nights in their own allotted rooms.

The passage in the question gives the details of the narrator's room. he had seen a picture hanging in his allotted room and had been unable to ignore it. He felt all sorts of uneasiness, unable to even sleep properly, constantly thinking there's someone hovering above him. The tone of the passage gives us a feeling of horror, sending shivers down the spine, making us feel uneasy. This passage makes it possible that the room was indeed haunted, making even us, the readers, scared of what will happen and what really is the picture about. It spreads a feeling of uncomfortable, and scared feeling in the narrator and the readers altogether.

ANEK [815]

<em>The Tragedy of Macbeth</em> is a play written by William Shakespeare in which he narrates the ambition of the Macbeth couple to conquer the Scottish throne. To do so, Macbeth murders King Duncan, a fact that demands more deaths to be duly hidden and prevent suspicion. However, the couple begins to suffer from guilt and paranoia which leads Macbeth to become a tyrant.

Lady Macbeth, in turn, begins to hallucinate and sleepwalk. That is the reason why, in Act V, the doctor says, “Unnatural deeds / Do breed unnatural troubles.” Lady Macbeth feels guilty for the deaths of Lady Macduff and Banquo and, while sleepwalking, believes to see blood on her hands. The civil war and bloodbath that begin to take place after Macbeth takes the throne are also unnatural troubles originated from unnatural deeds since Macbeth would have never become a king in a natural way. All the killing that was necessary to keep him in power – and taking someone’s life is certainly the most unnatural action a human being can conceive – takes its toll, depriving him and his wife from their mental health and, later on, their lives, and depriving the kingdom of peace.
