Answer:

love and sacrifice for others is the highest virtue.

Explanation:

Irony is used to show that genuine love can be founded on pleasure. That is, genuine love can be conquered when one person begins to please another with gifts. In this story, Della gets a lot of gifts from Jim, he presents her to show that he loves her. Likewise, Della often presents Jim to show that she loves him.

Thus the author shows that love and sacrifice for others is the greatest virtue.

Read this excerpt from chapter 2 of The Scarlet Letter using comprehension strategies. “Goodwives,” said a hard-featured dame of
ololo11 [35]
A. The speaker is saying that she and her peers should be allowed to handle the punishments for people like Hester Prynne. She thinks this because they would band together as a group and be all on the same page in their punishment, rather than leaving it up to the magistrate--whose punishment she does not think adequately fit the crime Hester committed.
