Read the excerpt from "Aunty Misery."

Many years passed, and there were no deaths in the world. The people who make their living from death began to protest loudly. The doctors claimed no one bothered to come in for examinations or treatments anymore, because they did not fear dying; the pharmacists' business suffered too because medicines are, like magic potions, bought to prevent or postpone the inevitable; priests and undertakers were unhappy with the situation also, for obvious reasons. There were also many old folks tired of life who wanted to pass on to the next world to rest from miseries of this one.

This excerpt expresses which symbolic message found in the allegorical folktale?

Death can strengthen business.

Death can be easily prevented.

Death is an important part of life.

Death is something frightening.

Lillianna Monroe · Answer 2

That excerpt expresses that C. Death is an important part of life. Not only because it gives jobs to many and the whole civilization is based on the fact that everyone would eventually die, but because the ending of life gives meaning to life. Life without death means nothing, there is no place for comparison, as the day would mean nothing without he night. There are no absolutes in the universe, everything need at least one opposite to be recognizable.
