English

Irony is the difference between what is being said and what is being meant.

English writer Anne Bradstreet used several instances of irony in her poems, mostly to mock society's assumptions as regards the role of women. For example:

"Who says my hand a needle better fits"

In the example above, Bradstreet refers to how society constrains women to do housework chores.

Why would everyone be concerned about Anne's nightmare?

D. Because they do not want to be discovered.

The reaction the others have is to silence Anne because her screams “are endangering all our lives”, as Dussel comments. Mr. Frank as well was alerted by the sound and tries to calm down Anne, he wants her to “lie quietly”.
