This feud is one of the most ironic events in the book but Twain uses irony for other occasions, too. The second circumstanc that stands out in my mind for being so ironic would be when Sophia Grangerford marries her enemy, Harney Shephardson. "Well, den Miss Sophia's run off to ded she ded.

I think the reason the brother wants to go and fight in the war is because he wants to be remembered as a great fighter of a war. Like in line 22, it says, "In death is your glory," the brother knows the consequences of going off to war. I think the brother sees it as the thing to do for his country, and the sister sees it as just suicide. She even says in lines 18 - 20, to let the emperor and other people go and die, but not her brother.
The significance of this poem was to stop her brother g ...

... and stratification of life in America. Realists created this picture of America by combining a wide variety of “details derived from observation and documentation” to “approach the norm of experience” (Elliot 503).

This realistic movement evolved as a result of many changes and transiti ...

... the play who believes that evil is caused by humans and not the gods. Edgar said, "The gods are just, and of our peasant vices make instruments to plague us" (ACT V, iii, 169).
