Question

Situational Irony: Identify one example of situational irony within our short story. Explain the unexpected aspect and defend its purpose or impact on the story overall for the reader.

Answer 1

When someone else saves him when he gave up.

Step-by-step explanation:

In "The Pit and the Pendulum," the narrator explains how he gives up on saving himself because he tries hard to dave himself many times and never does. After he gives up, someone else saves him. I would say this was unexpected.
