What situational irony occurs in the colomber by dino buzzati?

Answer

Hi,

The correct answer option is ; The colomber pursues Stefano in order to give him a magic pearl.

Explanation

Situation Irony happens when something different occurs between what is expected to happen.In this case, opposite results are obtained from what was expected or intended.In “The Colomber” by Dino Buzzati, the Colomber was supposed to give Stefano a pearl that was believed to give good luck and a successful life yet  it is known that the Colomber was beli a harbinger of Death and any person who sees it will be doomed for life. This is situational irony in that we expect Stefano to be successful in life yet we know meeting the Colomber dooms a person’s life.

Best Wishes!

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.
