Read the paragraph from an interpretive literary analysis. In William Shakespeare's Hamlet, the main character's indecision and

inattention result not only in deaths around him, but also in his own death. Hamlet wounds Laertes and then they switch swords. Before Laertes dies, he gets in a last jab at Hamlet, who ends up being wounded by his own poisoned sword. The allusion is that not only does Laertes die as expected, but Hamlet is doomed to die by the poison on his own sword as well. How should this paragraph be revised to use the correct domain-specific vocabulary? The term allusion should be changed to the term characterization. The term allusion should be changed to the term imagery. The term allusion should be changed to the term irony. The term allusion should be changed to the phrase word choice.

In this paragraph from an interpretive literary analysis of William Shakespeare's Hamlet, the term <em>allusion</em> should be changed to the term <em>irony</em>.

This is a very common literary device where a state of affairs or events end up being the contrary to what the readers expect and often amazes the audience.

In this particular part of the play, Hamlet, who is supposed to kill Laertes with his sword, ends up being hurted and poisoned by his own sword. His lack of attention ends with his life at the same moment he ends Laerte's.

This is a very unexpected outcome because Hamlet was about to fulfill his will, but because of his inattention, the situation ends with his life as well.
