What figurative language is used in the lady or the tiger

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Figurative language is any kind of language or figure of speech that does not employ the literal meaning. Certainly, author Frank R. Stockton uses figurative language in his narrative.

Examples of figurative language are in italics:

In the exposition, Stockton employs exaggeration and irony in his description of the kingdom and the semi-barbaric king, a man of "exuberant fancy and of an authority so irresistible that, at his will, he turned his varied fancies into facts."

The king's "exuberant fancy" is a figure of speech for his ideas about how to punish those who commit crimes. His authority is only "irresistible" because he is king and he cruelly enforces his rules. He has an "exuberant fancy" that he exercises: his public arena in which there are exhibitions of man against beast. These exhibitions are used as part of his impartial and incorruptible chance." This "chance" involves the choice that the accused makes between one door of the arena or another. One of the doors holds a deadly lion and the other one holds a maiden that the accused marries (whether he is already married or not).

Clearly, the use of figurative language in the story "The Lady, or the Tiger?" lends a greater impact upon the characterization of the "semi-barbaric" king and princess, as well as having an interesting influence upon the interpretation of the story.

Why do you think Mrs. Schater kept screaming even though she was getting beaten for it?

nignag [31]

Answer:

Mrs. Schachter kept screaming "fire" even though she was getting beaten for it because she had foreseen what will happen to them, the Jews. She is like a warning for what will be the fate of the people and how most of them will end up.

Explanation:

The memoir Night by Elie Weisel tells the story of how the Jews were discriminated against and treated inhumanely by the German Nazis. The book became one of the most read and first-person accounts of the horrors of the Holocaust, one of the greatest genocide in world history.

Mrs. Schachter and the captured Jews were stuffed into the cattle cars and transported to other camps for their imprisonment. She was with her ten-year-old son. Along the way, she began screaming "Fire! I see a fire! I see a fire! [. . . .] This terrible fire. Have mercy on me". This happened not just once or twice but more than thrice. She was badly beaten up for causing panic among them and was even gagged. But she kept on shouting about the fire.

Her 'vision' of the fire seems to be the foreshadowing of the fate of the Jews. Most of them will be put in the chamber and burned. She seems to foresee what will happen to them. And even though she was beaten up for shouting and claiming she saw a fire, she kept on repeating her claim to warn them of their fate, which, unfortunately wasn't understood by the people at that time.
