Like Writeacher, I have not read ETHAN FROME. I've read other of Wharton novels and short stories, but not that one, so I can't help. Sorry. I suspect that Ms. Sue has not read it, either, or she would have responded earlier. Sorry.

Maybe we should "get up to speed" and read it, since it's being assigned, huh? :)

I've read the entire offal book im just not sure about these 4 answer. No one can help me tho because no one else has ever read this god offal book.

For question 4, the correct answer is C. severe. The atmosphere or mood in the Prologue and Chapter I of Ethan Frome is described as severe, reflecting the cold and harsh conditions of the setting.

For question 11, your answer is partially correct. The conflict between Ethan and Zeena over Mattie can be classified as both a internal conflict (man vs self) and external conflict (man vs man). However, it is important to note that the struggle is primarily characterized as man vs man, as Zeena's jealousy and Ethan's desire for Mattie create tension and conflict between them.

For question 12, the correct answer is not foreshadowing. The narrative device used at the beginning and end of Ethan Frome is actually frame narrative. The story is framed by an unnamed narrator who encounters Ethan Frome and becomes interested in his story. The narrator then presents Ethan's story as the main narrative, and at the end, the frame narrative is resumed.

For question 14, you are correct. The ironic thought that strikes Ethan when he sees the headstone commemorating the fifty-year marriage of another couple is that he could have had a happy and fulfilling life with Mattie if he hadn't been trapped in his unhappy marriage with Zeena for just seven years. This highlights the irony of his situation and his longing for a different life.
