Question

What literary device best describes the connection between Rochester's rejection of Blanche in favor of Jane, and his ordering jewels and taking Jane to buy fine gowns after their engagement?

A - Irony
B - Foreshadowing
C - Allusion
D - Metaphor

Answer 1

It would be irony, because the actions contradict each other severely.

Answer 2

A - Irony

Step-by-step explanation:

Ironically Rochester should dismiss Blanche as a result of Jane in light of the fact that their relationship is extremely the equivalent.

He needed to make tracks in an opposite direction from Blanche for similar reasons he needed to begin an association with Jane, which is very unexpected.
