Situational irony...she acts nice, while at the same time writing mean letters and notes to the people. she doesn't see the wickedness in herself, only in others...but she's the worst one of them all...
The irony in "The Possibility of Evil" lies in the contrast between outward appearances and inner realities. The protagonist, Miss Strangeworth, perceives herself as a moral guardian, believing her letters expose the town's flaws and protect its virtues. However, her actions, driven by a misguided sense of righteousness, reveal her own malevolence and hypocrisy. Ultimately, her attempts to eliminate evil lead to her own downfall, highlighting the paradox that those who seek to uncover and combat evil can inadvertently perpetuate it.
Without evil there would be no good. The opposites are needed.
the roses are a symbol of the townspeople
Im sure its a great song
Judgemental, or pessimistic.
Literary Techniques: suspense, foreshadowing, situational and dramatic
The moral of "The Possibility of Evil" by Shirley Jackson is that evil can exist in unexpected places, and that people should not judge others based solely on appearances or reputation. It also serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of spreading rumors and gossip.
Essentially, you need one to even have the possibility of the other. Without evil, good would not exist and vise versa.
