Reread the introduction to the play.

the straw, a play by eugene o'neill, is set in a factory town in connecticut around the year 1910. at the opening of the play, bill carmody is waiting for doctor gaynor to finish examining carmony's daughter, eileen. carmody, a widower, called the doctor in earlier, when eileen fainted.

using what you know from reading the play, revise the introduction to add dramatic irony. then, explain in one or two sentences how your revision added dramatic irony.

can anyone me with this?

Dramatic irony is a literary device in which the audience has more knowledge about the story than the characters. When dramatic irony is employed, the reader knows what is going to happen later in the story, but the characters do not, which leads them to act in ways that would not make sense if they possessed the same knowledge. Therefore, if you were to rewrite the introduction using dramatic irony, it would look something like this:

"The Straw, a play by Eugene O'Neill, is set in a factory town in Connecticut around the year 1910. At the opening of the play, Bill Carmody is waiting for Doctor Gaynor to finish examining Carmody's daughter Eileen. Carmody, a widower, called the doctor in earlier, when Eileen fainted. Eileen will most likely be sent to a sanatorium. However, she does not know that the love of her life is waiting for her there."

good morning!

your answer would be b. character vs. society.

hope this buddy!

mark me brainliest!

have a great day!

now, of course, the quality and the seasonability of these winter dreams varied, but the stuff of them remained.   they persuaded dexter several years later to pass up a business course at the state university—his father, prospering now, would have paid his way—for the precarious advantage of attending an older and more famous university in the east, where he was bothered by his scanty funds. but do not get the impression, because his winter dreams happened to be concerned at first with musings on the rich, that there was anything merely snobbish in the boy. he wanted not association with glittering things and glittering people—he wanted the glittering things themselves. often he reached out for the best without knowing why he wanted it—and sometimes he ran up against the mysterious denials and prohibitions in which life indulges.

there you go thats what we are missing
