What is ironic about calling Lilliputs major city in Metropolis

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Metropolis means a large city. Although the country of Lilliput is huge and surroundings are beautiful. However, there is no other name of a city - Lilliput is all I am aware of.

Answer 2

Metropolis means a large city. Lilliput's major city is actually really small. So, it is ironic about calling Lilliput's major city as Metropolis.

What does Lilliput mean?

Lilliput and Blefuscu are two fictional island nations featured in Jonathan Swift's 1726 novel Gulliver's Travels. In the South Indian Ocean, the two islands are separated by an 800-yard-wide channel.

Both are inhabited by tiny people about a twelfth the size of ordinary humans. Both are empires, or emperor-ruled realms. The metropolis is named Mildendo.

Mildendo is Lilliput's capital. In some images, the islands are arranged in the shape of an egg, alluding to their egg-dominated histories and cultures.

Since, metropolitan means a big city, Lilliput's major city in Metropolis is ironic.

Dear Maya,

Here in America, things are pretty crazy. We just went through the worst election of 2020, people refusing to accept the voice of democracy. We just elected a new President of the United States but many people feel that the election was rigged and think Donald Trump should have won. Other people dislike him greatly and are happy he will be getting out of office this January. Many protest from both opposing sides have cause great division in this country and I feel that things might not get better anytime soon. Hope you are doing good in Australia.

Answer:

Amy Tan points out the irony in Jing-mei's mother's efforts to get her to become a prodigy: "I soon found out why Old Chong had retired from teaching piano. He was deaf."

Explanation:

There are several meanings of irony.

Irony can be the use of words to express a meaning that is the opposite of the literal meaning. For example, if there is a storm going on outside, someone can ironically say: It's such nice weather today!

Irony also refers to the situation the outcome of which is the opposite of what someone would expect. This is called situational irony. That is the case we have here. A piano teacher has gone deaf. That is something you would never expect to happen to someone who plays the piano.
