Question

About halfway through the story, the narrator’s tone darkens permanently and the reader realizes this story will be a tragedy. Look back through the text and write the sentence where the reader realizes all of Désirée’s hope is in vain and that this story is leading to a dark conclusion.

Answer 1

The reader realizes all of Désirée's hope is in vain and that this story is leading to a dark conclusion when the narrator explicitly states his lesson learned and adds a detail about his continuing humiliation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence where the reader realizes all of Désirée's hope is in vain and that this story is leading to a dark conclusion is: "Resolution. The narrator explicitly states his lesson learned at the end of the story and adds a detail about his continuing humiliation." This sentence indicates that the story will end in a tragic manner and that Désirée's hope will not be fulfilled. It sets a dark tone and foreshadows a negative outcome.
