Fortunato said, "I will not die of a cough," and Montresor replied, "True, true." Why is that ironic?

Hi, I actually just reads this story so im so happy that I can help you out with it! It is ironic because Montresor has plans for killing Fortunato later in the story.

Explanation:

Literary elements such as irony and foreshadowing help Edger Allan Poe build suspense by giving away bits of events to be occurred in a ironic way. For example, the story starts off with the narrator expressing great hatred and swearing revenge on Fortunato, whose name means fortunate, but ended up dying in the end, dressed as a clown, inferring that the narrator is making a fool out of Fortunato. This death was well foreshadowed with some of the dialogues. For instance, When Fortunato was coughing nonstop and Montresor suggested to turn back. In responses, Fortunato answered, "The cough is a mere nothing; it will not kill me. I shall not die of a cough." Ending this dialogue of Montresor saying "True-true." During this conversation you can picture Montresor replying slowly and wickedly as he grinned, oh so happily on his plans to murder Fortunate.

Hope this helps!!

animal farm, written by george orwell, is a representation of russia after the revolution that led stalin to take over power.

in this excerpt, the central idea seems to be that the animals (a representation of society), when they believe to be working for a greater good and equality, are obedient and productive. they were convinced that, after expelling the owner (jones) from the farm, they would live in harmony and be fairly treated.

as we know, the pigs become the leaders and grow more selfish and dictatorial with time. in the end, they look and act in a way so similar to humans that it is impossible to tell the difference. the ideals of equality are shattered, and the farm turns out to be worse than it was before. the animals are manipulated with false propaganda and forced to work in order to enrich the pigs.
