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!
