Answer:
The dramatic irony is that while the characters did not know the true reaction of Mrs. Mallard, the readers/ audience knows that she is celebrating her husband's death, for it meant freedom for her.
Explanation:
Kate Chopin's short story "The Story of an Hour" revolves around the character Mrs. Mallard and how she reacted to the news of her husband's death. Contrary to the other characters' beliefs, she had a different side of reaction which was abruptly stopped by the sudden turn of events at the end of the story.
When the news of the death of Mr. Mallard first arrived, Mrs. Mallard immediately went to a separate room. The others thought she's been crying her heart out and would be heartbroken. But contrary to that, Mrs. Mallard was instead 'celebrating' the broken chain of her husband's hand/ control over her. She was free to think and do whatever she wants, whispering to herself <em>"Free! Body and soul free!"</em> All the while, her sister Josephine was pleading with her to open the door or else she'll make herself sick with worry and grief.
The<u> dramatic irony is that while the characters did not know the true reaction of Mrs. Mallard, the readers/ audience knows that she is celebrating her husband's death, for it meant freedom for her.</u> The audience/ readers are privy to the situation while the other characters are not.
Answer:
Explanation:
the story adds complexity to the theme of multiple truths and shows Mariam's shift from childhood to adulthood. The theme of multiple truths is developed through Mariam's desire to see Herat and be a public part of her father's life. She has heard his stories, and believed them, and wants his stories of a full and lively life to be hers as well. However, what she learns is that Jalil has been selective in the information he tells her; he may love her, but only on his own terms. Once Mariam realizes that her father allowed her to sleep on the street rather than bring her into his home, she is traumatized and realizes there is more truth to Nana's stories than she initially thought. Through this realization, Mariam begins to see the flaws in her understanding of her parents; she saw only the surface of Jalil's kindness and Nana's bitterness, not the complex feelings lying beneath their behavior. Thus, Hosseini shows the reader that truth is often more complex than it initially seems, and truth can emerge in unexpected ways. While it's true that Jalil loves Mariam, it's also true that he's ashamed of her. While it's true that Nana resents her lot in life, it's also true that she wants to protect her daughter.
