What is one possible reason Anne bradstreet used the poetic device of irony in her poems

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.

How does act 1 in romeo and juliet function as an exposition?
cestrela7 [59]
In the first act, it is introduced to all the main characters such as Capulets, Montague, even dramatic Hero Romeo. In the precursor to the first act, we are talking about struggles over the years, two aristocrats "[f]rom ancient grudge break to new mutiny".

Therefore, we talk about one of the central disputes: that the two familes are fighting each other. That central conflict enhances the concept of being hostage against destiny which leads to both Romeo and Juliet's death.

In the first scene, it introduces the characterization of a character centered on Romeo's painful rash emotional heart. In the second and third scenes of the first act, we were introduced to the heroine Juliet and gave hints on Juliet about another dispute that might be involved in Paris.

In the last scene of the act, the hero and the heroine meet under intense conditions, show the emergence of character-to-fate confrontation, and show the conflict of character against character as seen from Tybalt's anger and insult feeling Capulet's ball.

As all of these introduce and serve to raise a conflict, we confirm that the purpose of Shakespeare obviously uses the first act as an exhibition.
