"The Sniper"
The story takes place here.
Dublin, Ireland
The setting of the story is this city.
Paris
This is the reason the narrator nicknamed his younger brother "Doodle."
Because he crawled backwards
This character acts as the story's unreliable narrator and villain protagonist.
Montresor
This literary device gives hints about future events, such as the dying bird in "The Scarlet Ibis".
Foreshadowing.
The sniper makes this mistake, which initially gives away his position.
Lights a cigarette
This is the main type of irony used in the story's ending.
Situational irony
This is the "cruel" item Brother forces Doodle to touch.
His own coffin.
This is the ironic name of the man destined to be murdered.
Fortunato
In "The Cask of Amontillado", the reader knows Montresor's plan, while Fortunato does not; this is an example of this type of irony.
Dramatic irony
To trick the enemy, the sniper places his cap on this object.
His rifle
The climax of the story occurs when this happens.
When Mdm. Loisel discovers she has lost the necklace.
This character trait motivates the narrator more than compassion.
Pride
The man whom the narrator seeks revenge upon is dressed in this type of colorful costume, symbolizing his foolishness.
Motley/jester costume
The Carnival and the catacombs in "The Cask of Amontillado" provide background in the story and this literary term, which shapes mood and tension.
Setting
This type of irony occurs when the sniper discovers who he has killed.
Situational irony
To pay off their debts, the couple must work and live in poverty for this long.
10 years
This is the specific reason Brother leaves Doodle behind in the storm.
Rage/disappointment that Doodle couldn't keep up or meet his expectations.
The narrator seeks revenge upon his acquaintance for this reason.
He insulted him.
The coffin, the bird, and the bleeding tree from "The Scarlet Ibis" all represent this literary element.
Symbolism
The protagonist and his enemy are never given names, which helps them represent these two groups of people (or soldiers).
The Republicans and Free Staters
The story teaches that it is better to be this, rather than to pretend to be rich.
Honest/content
This earlier event in the story mirrors Doodle's death and foreshadows the ending.
The scarlet ibis falling from the tree.
The narrator carries this tool to build a wall, which his acquaintance mistakenly thinks is a sign of a mason.
These are the four primary character types.
Round, Flat, Dynamic, and Static
