“The world is made up of two classes - the hunters and the huntees.” In the short story ‘The Most Dangerous Game’ which was written by Richard Connell there are two main characters, Rainsford and General Zaroff.

Different literary devices are used to make books and stories more descriptive and interesting. In Shirley Jackson’s short stories, “The Lottery,” and, “The Possibility of Evil,” she uses these literary devices in her writing. There are several examples of her using irony, imagery, and tone . Shirley Jackson uses these words to improve her short stories and to make them more fascinating for the reader.

The short story“The Necklace” by Gui de Maupassant follows Madame Loisel and her husband who are living in the middle-class during the rise of the middle class in Paris, France.There are many different examples of irony throughout the short story, demonstrating Maupassant's talent at commenting on the society in which he was immersed in. The theme of “The Necklace” is revealed through the character Madame Loisel, irony, and symbolism.

In literature, many authors love for throw an unexpected twist as the end. Shirley Jackson is no exception. In the short stories “The Lottery” and “The Possibility of Evil” by Shirley Jackson both take twist that the reader doesn’t expect. In “The Lottery” a small town gathers to draw a winner; however Tessie Hutchinson is not delighted to be the winner. Also in “The Possibility of Evil” another small town has an unexpected villain who resides on Pleasant St. Shirley Jackson uses literary devices to depict twist at the end of her short stories because she used literary devices such as syntax, irony and mood.

In the short story “The Cask of Amontillado,” it deals with how someone can turn a seemingly nice night into a horrible and tragic ending. Montresor lures an inebriated Fortunato to show him a rich wine. But in a twist, Montresor chains him up and suffocates him. It uses an exceptional amount of irony, verbal, situational, and dramatic irony. Edgar Allan Poe, author of “The Cask of Amontillado,” writes using three different variants of irony to create an eerie and suspenseful atmosphere within the plot.

Saint Augustine once said, “It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels” (Saint Augustine). In the human brain, one’s pride can quickly switch to arrogance. It was King Creon’s own pride that ruined everything he ever loved. Thinking he was superior to those surrounding him, he ignored advice and criticism. He never let himself feel that humility and was blinded by the fact that he was nothing but correct. It was the citizens under his rule that were thinking incorrectly. The tragedy of Antigone begins once King Creon takes the power of the kingdom, Thebes, replacing Polyneices and Eteocles. He expand his rights as ruler by declaring Polyneices a traitor and denies him the right to a proper funeral. Out of rebellion, Polyneices’

In the Cask of Amontillado, Edgar Allen Poe uses verbal irony to emphasize the evil intentions of Montresor. Poe does this all throughout the story like when Montroso and Fortunato first meet. Montroso says, “‘My dear Fortunato, you are luckily met’” even though it is not lucky they met at the carnival because Montroso plans to kill Fortunato. Another way Poe uses verbal irony is, ‘"And the motto?" "Nemo me impune lacessit." "Good!" he said.”’ The motto Montroso uses means no one attacks me with impunity and in the beginning Montroso says that Fortunato insulted him so Fortunato just clapped to the saying that will be implemented on him by

Anyone who knows anything about Edgar Allan Poe’s work probably knows that he is a very dark writer. This holds true in his short story, “The Cask of Amontillado.” “The Cask of Amontillado” follows the character Montresor through the Carnival where he meets up with his friend Fortunato, who is a wine connoisseur. Fortunato has recently crossed a line by insulting Montresor and does not quite know what is coming his way that night. Edgar Allan Poe uses the literary element of irony in order to portray the theme of revenge within “The Cask of Amontillado.”

Bridget Nicole, an author and speaker, once said, “Most times you won’t understand how someone feels until it happens to you, until you experience the pain.” This is one of the main ideas in “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell. In this story, a famous hunter, Rainsford, laughs at the animals on the other side of his weapons. At the beginning of the short story, he falls off a yacht and swims to an island, where a man named Zaroff lives, and unwittingly becomes a player in Zaroff’s “game”. Zaroff finds entertainment in hunting the most insightful animal: man. In order to regain his freedom, Rainsford must survive as Zaroff’s prey for three days. The author keeps the readers on the edge of their seats and shows that things are not always as they seem. In this short

Lamott’s ideas on truth spoke to me as well. In the introduction when she says "Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don't give up." (pg. xxiii)--then talks about her father's cancer, death, and faith in her--Lamott’s honesty floored me. In both reading and writing, I am always searching for honesty. My favorite author Cheryl Strayed embodies this honesty in her book Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar, especially when she says “Nobody will protect you from your suffering. You can't cry it away or eat it away or starve it away or walk it away or punch it away or even therapy it away. It's just

In Franz Kafka’s “The Metamorphosis” the character Gregor Samsa is transformed into a giant bug while he is sleeping. Although it is never said why he turns into an oversized insect, the characters never seem to wonder why or how this has happened. It is ironic that even after undergoing something dramatic and life changing as becoming a vermin, Gregor does not question his transformation; his reaction undermines the situation entirely. Irony in “The Metamorphosis” is a reoccurring theme that affects each of the characters in the story. Gregor, who was once a genuine hard working, family orientated man, is now a beetle who feels guilty about not being able to help his family anymore. Gregor’s family sees him as a burden. Their bitterness towards him instead of sympathy through his ordeal is greatly satirical.

Another tragedy that makes audiences cringe is the rape of Titus’ daughter, Lavinia, by Tamora’s sons, Demetrius and Chiron. Tamora’s lover, Aaron, urges the two sons to take revenge by raping her,

A strongminded man who has everything going for him, nice job nice car, great friends, etc. comes home every night to a sick mother whom he takes care of after a long day of living a lavish life. His one weakness is his sick mother because she taught him everything. No one, not even his best friend knows about his other life and so that 's how he keeps it. Oh the irony right? Big strong man afraid to live his truth in fear of change and facing his reality. In The Metamorphosis, author Franz Kafka speaks on a character name Gregor, who somehow manages to transform into a hideous insect, and the ironic life he lives. During the story Gregor has a family whom he cares for, a job as a salesman, and a lack in

Orcanes wins the battle, regardless, attributing the triumph by and large to Christ, since Sigismond broke his vow to the Christian sidekick in need. Tamburlaine then finds that Zenocrate is wiped out. Her lords can do nothing to extra her, and she misses the mark appallingly. Act 3 begins with the consigned of Callapine as the Turkish head, and Callapine's certification to strike back for his father's wrongs. Tamburlaine then lights the town in which Zenocrate kept, prohibiting the world to repeat it, and gives his young people a lesson in confirmation. Theridamas and Techelles walk northward, where they sack Balsera, a town on the Natolian boondocks. They get its crucial's life accomplice, Olympia, after she impacts her tyke's and mate's bodies. Tamburlaine and Usumcasane then parlay with Callapine and his accomplice rulers, undermining each other and
