Discussion- How Ironic
In your own words, define the literary terms irony and symbol. How does D.H. Lawrence use the symbol of the rocking horse in "The Rocking Horse Winner" to convey the irony of love between a mother and her son?
How does Jhumpa Lahiri employ the symbols of clothing and food to foreshadow events in "Hell-Heaven?" What ironies are revealed at the conclusion of the story?
