Answer:

The irony in these lines is that the narrator is describing the Summoner as an alcoholic person, which is not something the reader would expect to read about him.

There is irony in the phrase <em>"You'd meet none better if you went to find one.", </em>given the fact that the Summoner is a dishonest person with no morals, besides he drinks excessively and could forgive anyone to act badly only to gain some wine.

Answer:

The irony behind the words used by the narrator to describe the summoner in the prologue of "The Canterbury Tales" is:

Inside the phrase: You'd meet none better if you went to find one.

Because he was also a sinner, who would let anyone sin if they found a deal.

Explanation:

All right, so the irony in this scene is that the summoner was a man at the church's service that would allow anyone to take a concubine if they provided wine to drink because he was also a sinner. A Man at the service of the church who had a drinking addiction, that would allow a man to go with his sin for help to keep his sin alive.

What are some examples of foreshadowing in House Taken Over by Julio Cortazar?
Mandarinka [93]

<u>Explanation:</u>

Remember, the English word foreshadowing refers to a brief detail or scene that shows something that will occur again in the future. Indeed, this was the case in "House Taken Over" by Julio Cortazar.

For example, in the story a foreshadow of a shift in the tone of the story begins when we read about Elvio;

“I went down the corridor as far as the oak door, which was ajar, then turned into the hall toward the kitchen, when <em>I heard something in the library or the dining room. The sound came through muted and indistinct, a chair being knocked over onto the carpet or the muffled buzzing of a conversation...</em>I heard it. ....toward the door. I hurled myself against the door before it was too late and shut it...I ran the great bolt into place, just to be safe.”

Interestingly, from that point on the house became taken over by strange noises. In the end, the siblings been fully frightened left their ancestral home, that is when the true meaning title of the story becomes clearer. Indeed, it became a "House Taken Over".
