Indeed, the narrator paid the price of her innocence to compensate her triumph of adulthood, which is inevitable for everyone(Messud). While Maxim had to pay the high price of staying married to a woman he did not love and even grew to hate over the years. Only for the continued success of Manderley.

So if he felt that way he why go through the pain of staying married to this woman. Why would he fake his happiness and deal with the worry of covering for Rebecca? He could have saved himself years…
I really liked Romeo and Juliet because of the amount of irony and foreshadowing in the text. For instance, Romeo says “I dreamt my lady came and found me dead. And breathed such life with kisses in my lips”(V.i.6-9). This is an obvious example of foreshadowing to the upcoming scene where Juliet believes that Romeo is dead, and tries to take the poison from his lips. This quote is also a reference to Mercutio’s Queen Mab speech about how dreamers usually see what they want to see in dreams. I like this quote because it relates something from the past to the future through the present and connects everything together. Another thing that I liked was the amount of irony, which is present in Romeo’s choices from the very beginning of the novel where he firsts states that he is in love with Rosaline by saying “that the all-seeing sun ne’er saw her match since the world first begun”(I.iii.99-100). In this scene we find Romeo pining for Rosaline and saying that there is no one in the world more beautiful than her in the world; but then he somehow instantaneously gets over her after seeing Juliet, where he states that he has “ne’er saw true beauty till this night” (I.v.60). I like irony between these statements because it gives the audience…
