Answer:
C.
Explanation:
"The Monkey's Paw' is a short story written by W. W. Jacobs. The story revolves around the magical monkey's paw that's been bought by Sergeant Major Morris.
<u>The given excerpt of the story reflects the falling action of story as with this passage the author ends the story. To draw the conclusion of the story, authro left it intentionally on the readers.</u>
<u>The given passage describes the falling action after the climax of Mr. White asking for his second wish of having their son back.</u>
<u>Falling action</u><u> is the second last element of a plot structure in which the tensions and drama of climax has been ceased. In the given excerpt, the tension has been ceased.</u>
So, the correct answer is option C.
Even though the author of Dorian Gray preached aestheticism as the ultimate goal of arts, his work does not converge to that conclusion.
Oscar Wilde, along with other artists belonging to the movement, claimed to believe art is done for art's sake. That, behind books, pictures and music, there shouldn't be a deeper meaning, a lesson to be taught and learned, any political positioning to defend or attack. Art was, thus, only supposed to be beautiful.
However, Wilde's character Dorian finds himself sinking in life for his lack of moral. Concerned only about his own youth and beauty, Dorian is incapable of loving and connecting to another human being. Consequently, everyone around him suffers and he becomes a dark and lonely soul, whose sins and real age are apparent in a picture of him painted by a friend.
