Answer:

1)

The horrible irony of the fact that the Loisels spent years paying off a replacement for what was actually a worthless necklace is just one instance of irony evident in “The Necklace.” The setting in "The Necklace" by Guy de Maupassant influences the story, characters, and events because the action takes place in the specific locale of Paris near the turn of the nineteenth century within a specific set of social circumstances. Mathilde covets the lifestyle of the wealthy class and deludes herself into believing she is entitled to their luxuries. Her dissatisfaction and ungratefulness cause her to lose the lifestyle she had but did not appreciate. Mathilde describing her home as being shabby with 'dirty walls, the worn-out chairs and the ugly curtains.' She dreams of grandeur but married into a solidly middle-class life with a minor official. Her dull apartment would have gone unnoticed by another lady in her social class, but she constantly focuses on the imperfections. While describing her home, Mathilde is almost swept away into a fantasy of detailing the many wonders of her dream home. Her dreams include Oriental tapestries, rare old silks, and elegant furniture.

2)

The main themes of “The Necklace” first and foremost, in my opinion, is Class Conflict as Madame Loisel, a member of lower class strives to appear to be in a higher class than she actually is, which causes conflict, but it also hints at another theme of Appearances and Reality.  Madame Loisel is determined to make herself appear to be at a higher level on the social ladder than she actually is; however her desire to attain this goal leads to a display of Generosity on the part of Madame Forestier as she loans a very expensive necklace to the Greedy Madame Loisel who looses it.  The necklace actually seems to be a symbol of her life, the insincerity of her character, and how her greed leads to her ultimate misery in life because she is forced to give up her own goals in life to repay Madame Forestier for the necklace she has lost, effectively ending her feeble climb up the social ladder.

Answer:

Dramatic irony is used in Shirley Jackson's "Charles" as the mother/narrator never suspects that the poorly-behaved boy about whom her son speaks is, in actuality, her own child, Laurie while readers soon realize the truth. Notably, she does not call him and scold him for his behavior. The setting influences the plot, which includes the story's events. Certain actions are more likely to take place in specific environments. Also, the story's tone and theme rely on its setting. It affects the plot by influencing the actions that take place in this environment. How does Charles' behavior vary throughout the story? Laurie describes Charles' behavior as improving but having occasional setbacks. Laurie describes Charles' behavior as steadily improving throughout the story. Laurie emphasizes how Charles is always misbehaving even if he's not caught.

identity

The main theme of Charles is identity, specifically the conflict between the identity Laurie has, the one he wants, and the one his parents think he has. Jackson begins the focus on identity by leaving out important information: the names of the other characters.

Which of the four major types of conflict best describes a situation discussed in in “The Gift of The Magi”
DedPeter [7]
There are four major types of conflict in a story: character versus self, character versus character, character versus society, and character versus nature. In this story, one might argue that the main conflict exists between Della Dillingham and herself (character vs. self) because she agonizes over what to get for her husband, Jim, for Christmas, as well as how to pay for it. She's only been able to save $1.87, and she is heartbroken that she will not be able to get him the kind of gift she feels he deserves: something of which he can be proud. Della wrestles a bit with herself, hence the conflict, eventually deciding to sell her hair in order to have enough money for such a gift.

One might also argue that the main conflict takes place between Della and Jim (character vs. character). Remember that conflict doesn't necessarily mean that one side is good, a hero, and one side is evil, a villain. To be an antagonist in literature means that one is an opposing force, an instrument of plot development, and perhaps an agent of change on the part of the protagonist. In the end, both Della and Jim have sold their most prized possessions in order to purchase something nice for the other, and those sales have rendered the gifts they receive essentially unusable.
