Comparing Inchcape Rock And The Necklace
The ironic tales of Inchcape Rock and The Necklace are very good stories. Inchcape Rock, by Robert Southey, is a tale of a spiteful pirate that by sinfully taking down a warning bell, spells his own demise. The Necklace, by Guy de Maupassant, is a tale of a lady who just didn’t know when to quit spending and who didn’t know when to tell the truth.
Both of the stories, Inchcape Rock and The Necklace, are quite ironic. In the Inchcape Rock, an evil pirate who was full of hatred took the warning bell off of a deadly rock in the sea. For some reason, he had wanted to, “plague the Abber of Abrathok,” by cutting down the warning bell that the Abber had once placed. Unfortunately for the pirate, later in the story, his ship sunk when it struck
