Read the excerpt below and answer the following question.

We have been here two weeks, and I haven't felt like writing before, since that first day.
I am sitting by the window now, up in this atrocious nursery, and there is nothing to hinder my writing as much as I please, save lack of strength.
John is away all day, and even some nights when his cases are serious.
i am glad my case is not serious!

This excerpt gives an example of which of the following?
A) Allegory
B) Hyperbole
C) Irony
D) Satire

Respuesta :

The answer is "A" because the author is writing a story and it seems like it has a hidden meaning due to John

Answer:

The correct answer is A) Allegory.

Explanation:

In this fragment we are told about a seemingly-depressed or insane narrator that feels neglected by John. While the excerpt seems to build on the lack of strenght of the narrator and her distress, it is actually an allegory for the oppression of women, encompassing ideas of the suffering of women as a whole. This narrator feels trapped in an atrocious nursery, reflecting the feeling of being in a prison-like room or life.
