How are
Mary Maloney and The Landlady different from each other?

Answers

answer: can you be more specific with your question?
Answer and Explanation:
The difference between Mary Maloney and the Landlady is that Mary commits her murder on impulse and out of emotion, while the Landlady is a serial... The main difference between the two ladies lies in the nature of their respective acts of murder. Mrs. Maloney kills her husband in a sudden, unprecedented fit of rage after he tells her he's leaving. There's nothing premeditated about Mary's fatal assault upon her husband. The landlady, on the other hand, commits several acts of premeditated murder upon various young men who come to stay at her bed and breakfast. We're never sure exactly why she does this; her lack of obvious motive makes her crimes all the more chilling and disturbing. Perhaps she's gaining revenge for something bad that happened to her many years ago, perhaps she has mental health issues, or perhaps her unhealthy obsession with taxidermy has just got a little out of hand. We will never know. But in any case, the landlady's murders are her way of imposing herself upon the world, a highly unconventional means of expressing her eccentric personality. Mary, on the other hand—a meek, unassertive woman—is reacting to the sudden intrusion into her life of a brutal, unforgiving world, one where people such as herself are often hurt and destroyed. Yet by cleverly covering up her murderous act, Mary quickly learns to assert herself, albeit in a way that's much more conventional than that of the landlady.

Joy is reading a passage from her favorite story. She enjoys the passage because of the deliberate exaggeration. The writer describes people, things, or events as if they were much greater than they really are. Which literary device is the author using in the passage?

Answers

Answer:

Hyperbole.

Explanation:

Hyperbole is the overstatement of things, making them appear more than they really are. This exaggerated form of expression makes the things seem more than they are in reality. So, with the description of people, things and events as if they were much greater than they really are, the writer is using exaggerated means to emphasize on them. This method is known as hyperbole, the deliberate use of extra details/ expression to describe the things.
Hyperbole, because hyperbole is the exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally. AND TRUST ME IT IS RIGHT CAUSE I DID IT ON A TEST.
