In lines 201-202,the author writes, "anyway, he had felt an immense relief in coming out of the black pit while the people were lifting him off the ground."what does the black pit represent? how is the main character's relief ultimately ironic, or different from what was expected

The black pit represents the road on which the protagonist have had an accident.

His relief was ironic as he realized that the physical pain that he's experiencing wasn't severe or long lasting as he had expected it to be.

Explanation:

"The Night Face Up" by Julio Cortazar narrates the story of an unnamed protagonist who got in an accident, and being confined in a hospital, drifting in and out of sleep and consciousness. The "black pit" mentioned in the lines 201-202 is that of the road where he had the accident. And his relief is quite ironic as he had expected to have a more severe and long lasting physical pain but that wasn't so.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
