How do carnival traditions add to the mood of the story?

English
1 answer:
jolli1 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

C. The wild parties, masks, and hidden faces create a mood of secrecy and unease.

Explanation:

Edgar Allen Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado" is a short story that revolves around the revenge plan of Montresor on his friend Fortunato. The story ends with the successful 'killing/punishment' of Fortunato after he gets walled-in by Montresor.

The scene takes place during a wild carnival night which adds to the irony of the whole story. Yet, it also adds to the secretive nature of the plan, the 'other side' of how Montresor presents himself to be. While on the one hand, the carnival represents the festive and merry mood of the scene, it also acts as a foil and occasion for Montresor to successfully lure Fortunato into his trap- that of inviting him to taste-test his acquired wine. Montresor admits that despite his plans of hurting his friend, he <em>"was so pleased to see him" </em>when he approached him.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Part I

The text structure is how the text is organized. Text structures include most of the time compare and contrast, sequence, description, problem and solution, and cause and effect. The text structure is one of the most important parts of a text. Some examples of a text structures are the sequence structure, which sorts out the text according to the order of the steps in a process or the chronological order of the events of the stories. And the problem and solution text structure, which presents a problem and then tries finding a solution and its consequences.

Part II

In the consistent text structure in the story "To Build a fire" the author consistently develops the northern theme in his work. cause-and-effect relationships are important for the author, he is interested in the psychology of the main character, the motives of his actions and the internal sources of forces for resistance. In "Gumption" the descriptive structure makes it easier for the author to emphasize actions and reveal how can each person of foolish decisions contribute to its downfall. they both tell a story of someone that is suffering. in "To Build a fire" he has to survive out in the wilderness, and in "gumption" they have to deal with racism.

Part III

The story "Gumption"  has a descriptive structure, because it describes an idea. In the story, the author makes the reader understand Clara's individual interpretation of  "Gumption" by depicting it to the reader. But in "To build a fire" the author uses a sequential structure (the ideas are presented as they happen in time) and it shows the reader how each one of the man's unintelligent decisions plays a part in his undoing.
