Question

The final lines of the folktale state: “And that is why there are two things you can always count on running into in this world: Misery and Death: La miseria y la muerte.” Write one to three sentences explaining the lesson of the folktale.

Answer 1

Answer:

The tale shows that emotions are part of human life and it is not possible to get rid of any of them, not even those related to death and misery. With this, the reader understands that it is impossible to get rid of negative moments in life and trying to change that is disastrous.

Explanation:

The lines presented in the question above belong to the folktale "Aunty Misery." This folktale introduces us to the story of a woman, Aunty Misery, who lived a very unmotivating, lonely and unfulfilling life. She wanted to get away from the negatives in her life and the sad emotions they provided and tried to change her own destiny. Even changing her life, she couldn't get rid of negative moments, such as misery and death, since they are natural, as well as happy moments.
