11. To answer this question, analyze the conflict between Ethan and Zeena over Mattie. Consider the nature of the conflict and the opposing sides involved. Explore the different types of conflicts: internal (man vs self), external (man vs man), or even other possibilities like man vs society or man vs nature. Based on your analysis, you provided a correct answer. The conflict initially starts as internal (man vs self) because Ethan is torn between his feelings for Mattie and Zeena's jealousy. However, it escalates to external (man vs man) when Zeena wants Mattie gone, and Ethan fights for her to stay.
12. To determine the narrative device used at the beginning and end of Ethan Frome, focus on the structure or technique employed by Edith Wharton. Consider how the story is presented and any literary elements that stand out. Foreshadowing is a valid narrative device, but it may be helpful to review the beginning and ending of the book to check if there are other narrative devices at play. Verify if there are any hints, clues, or indications of events to come in the story. If foreshadowing is indeed used, then your answer is correct.
14. To evaluate the ironic thought that strikes Ethan when he sees the headstone in the cemetery, recall the specific details of the scene and Ethan's reaction. Reflect on the contrast between his current situation with Zeena and his desire for happiness with Mattie. Consider if there are any unexpected or contradictory thoughts that arise from this reflection. Double-check the text to ensure accuracy. If the ironic thought you provided aligns with the details and contrast in the scene, then your answer is correct.
