Conflict/Irony
The external conflict is between Armand and Desiree. Armand and Desiree argument about whether Desiree should leave or not. “Shall I go, Armand, she asked in tones sharp with agonized suspense.” (Chopin, page 3)
One example of verbal irony is diagnosed as “description white.” The white problem is not physical but motionless as it relates to marriage. “Look at my hand: whiter than yours!” and “As white as La Blanche’s…” (Chopin, page 3)
