The Greeks believed that no man could be considered happy before his death, since the happiest life could be destroyed in an instant. Sophocles states this outright both in <em>Oedipus Rex</em> and <em>Antigone</em>: both Oedipus and Creon begin as wealthy, proud men who rule over the city, but they end up ruined and defeated. The element of tragedy that is mos apparent is the belief in the frailty of human life, the vulnerability of even the greatest individuales to the whims of both fate and the gods, what George Steiner termed "absolute tragedy".

GIVING BRIANLYEST IF YOU ANSWER CORRECT
Usimov [2.4K]

Explanation:

You don't prove honesty. You accept it. You prove dishonesty. If you meet someone and they tell you their real name, you accept that. If you have reason to not believe them, you investigate to see if they are lying. You are looking for proof of dishonesty. When you find that they weren't dishonest, you are elated because your acceptance of their honesty was justified. If you find that they lied, you are upset because you proved that they are dishonest.”

Read the following excerpt from Sandra Cisneros’s story "Mericans."
kenny6666 [7]

The statement that describes the irony in the narrator's observation that the couple is "not from here" is "the narrator is not from 'here' either," option A.

<h3>What is irony?</h3>

Irony is usually described as a situation where the consequences or outcome is different from what we initially expected. Here, however, we are looking for the irony found in the narrator's words in the story "Mericans."

In this case, the irony is not about the situation or its outcome per se. It relates more to who is saying what about whom. The girl who narrates the story is "not from here," which means she is not completely American. She is of Mexican origin, but she still judges the couple she sees by saying they were clearly "not from here."

In other words, the irony is that everyone is "not from here" to someone. The narrator is "not from here" in the sense that she is Mexican. The couple is "not from here" in the sense that they are not Catholics.

With the information above in mind, we can choose option A as the correct answer.
