How is the ending of Things Fall Apart ironic?

English
1 answer:
____ [38]2 years ago
7 0
The irony is that a proud, successful, and important man such as Okonkwo ends up hanging himself. It's tragic irony because the reader has many hints that this might happen. ... Okonkwo's death is especially ironic when we consider one major event at the beginning of the novel: the terrible harvest.

Which excerpt from The Odyssey - Teiresais is this paraphrasing?
Mice21 [21]

The excerpt from "The Odyssey" that the passage is paraphrasing is "Seeing this ghost I grieved, but held her off, through pang on pang of tears, till I..."

<h3>What is a paraphrase?</h3>

A paraphrase is a restatement of another text but with different words. Suppose you read a paragraph and decides to rewrite all the information in it, but with different words that the original. That is a paraphrase.

Here, we are looking for the excerpt that matches a paraphrase. Let's compare:

  • Although I was sad to see my mother's dead ghost, I didn't speak with her because I needed to talk to a different ghost.
  • Seeing this ghost I grieved, but held her off, through pang on pang of tears, till I should know the presence of Teiresias.

As we can see, the first excerpt paraphrases the second one. It rewords the information provided in the original excerpt, making it simpler to understand.

The complete question with the paraphrase and the missing answer choices is the following:

Although I was sad to see my mother's dead ghost, I didn't speak with her because I needed to talk to a different ghost.

Which excerpt from "The Odyssey" - Teiresais is this paraphrasing?

  • Now came the soul of Antikleia, dead, my mother, daughter of Autolykos, dead now, though living still when I took ship for holy Troy.
  • Seeing this ghost I grieved, but held her off, through pang on pang of tears, till I should know the presence of Teiresias.
  • Soon from the dark that prince of Thebes came forward bearing a golden staff; and he addressed me Great captain, a fair wind and the honey lights of home are all you seek. But anguish lies ahead.
