o: Intr The novel “Pet Semetery”, by Stephen King and play “Macbeth”, by William Shakespeare, use the literary device of irony to provoke the theme of the natural order of events. King and Shakespeare use specific wording and phrases to recall certain memories or events that have happened in the past to foreshadow future actions. Misunderstandings, miscommunication and ignorance, play key roles in helping the reader get a better understanding of the order of events. 1st argument: Duncan’s speech regarding the Thane of Cawdor: “there is not art to find the mind’s construction on the face.”(Act 1 Scene 4). Duncan could never imagine that this will be true for Macbeth, whom he trusts the most. Duncan had no idea that Macbeth was going to kill him .On Louis first day of work, a collage student named Victor Pascow died. Yet before he passed, he told Louis that he should not go beyond the pet semetary or else bad things will happen to him. Like Macbeth, Louis was very puzzled about this “fate” and did not bother to acknowledge it. This fate/prophecy is ironic for Louis because he ends up going past the semetary, and burying his daughter’s cat, as well as his son. Louis had to find out about the supernatural powers of the burial ground the hard way. 2nd argument: During the second meeting with the witches’, the apparition of the crowned child says to Macbeth “Macbeth will not die until Birnam wood will come near Dunsinane Hill”(Act 4 Scene 1) This prophesy is ironic for Macbeth because he thinks it will never happen but in reality it happens. Yet, the events of Ellie’s Cat and Louis previously talking to Ellie about death came into play when Church dies. Ellie, as well as Louis, had no idea that church was going to get hit by a truck. Louis doesn’t think Ellie’s cat is going to die when she leaves, but it does. Ellie doest want her cat to die when he father talk to
