Answer 17

1. Setting Description.
The whole story takes place in a prison cell in Toledo, Spain.
• Quotation from the text to support the answer.
“Victims had been in immediate demand. Moreover, my dungeon, as well as all the condemned cells at Toledo, had stone floors, and light was not altogether excluded.” This quote mentions that the main character is in a cell in Toledo.

2. Protagonist Description.
The protagonist is a man that tells how the Spanish Inquisition tortures him. This man never named himself. He did not mention why he was there either. This character is tire of been in prison. This character is also a bit unstable.
• Quotation from the text to support the answer.
“I WAS sick -- sick unto death with that long agony; and when they at length unbound me, and I was permitted to sit, I felt that my senses were leaving me. The sentence -- the dread sentence of death -- was the last of distinct accentuation which reached my ears.” This quote shows that his agonizing and sentenced death.

3. Main conflict in the story.
The main conflict in the story is mostly mental. The protagonist has to involve his head around what's going on. He have to reassure himself that he’s not dead yet. He does his best to figure out where he's been imprisoned. The other conflict is that the main character is being tortured by the Inquisition.
• Major type of conflict that best describes the situation discussed
The main conflicts of this short story is Man v. Self and Man v. Inquisition (Men)

4. Two examples of dialogue in the short story that support the type of conflict identified.
“All this I saw indistinctly and by much effort: for my personal condition had been greatly changed during slumber. I now lay upon my back, and at full length, on a species of low framework of wood. To this I was securely bound by a long strap resembling a surcingle. It passed in many convolutions about my limbs and body, leaving at liberty only my head, and my left arm to such extent that I could, by dint of much exertion, supply myself with food from an earthen dish which lay by my side on the floor. I saw, to my horror, that the pitcher had been removed. I say to my horror; for I was consumed with intolerable thirst. This thirst it appeared to be the design of my persecutors to stimulate: for the food in the dish was meat pungently seasoned.”
“I half smiled in my agony as I thought of such application of such a term.”
• Why each example of dialogue supports the conflict.
The first quote shows how he was so much torture in the prison that they even drugged and tied him to a piece of wood only letting his head and left arm freed.
The second quote how he is already agonizing in the prison. This shows how he struggles with himself too.
5. Description of the two examples of rising action events.
The narrator wakes up finds bread and next to him. He eats/drinks them and then he continues to explore the prison. He decides to walk across the room. As he walks, he trips up the hem he ripped earlier. In the floor, he noticed that his face was hanging over a pit. Testing the depth of the pit, he throws a stone he broke off the wall timing how much it takes to for the stone to get to the button. He found out that there is water at the button.
The narrator wakes up for the second time finding more bread and water. He only drunk the water and fell asleep. The water was drugged, so he wakes up for the third time finding the prison darker. The protagonist also noticed that he was being tied to a piece of wood with only his head and left arm freed. There was also a plate of meat. When the narrator looked up he saw there was a pendulum and a figure of time painted in the celling. The pendulum was swinging back and forth towards him.
• Provide a quotation from the text to support your answers.
“I saw clearly the doom which had been prepared for me, and congratulated myself upon the timely accident by which I had escaped. Another step before my fall, and the world had seen me no more. And the death just avoided, was of that very character which I had regarded as fabulous and frivolous in the tales respecting the Inquisition. To the victims of its tyranny, there was the choice of death with its direst physical agonies, or death with its most hideous moral horrors. I had been reserved for the latter. By long suffering my nerves had been unstrung, until I trembled at the sound of my own voice, and had become in every respect a fitting subject for the species of torture which awaited me.”
“Upon awaking, and stretching forth an arm, I found beside me a loaf and a pitcher with water. I was too much exhausted to reflect upon this circumstance, but ate and drank with avidity. Shortly afterward, I resumed my tour around the prison, and with much toil came at last upon the fragment of the serge. Up to the period when I fell I had counted fifty-two paces, and upon resuming my walk, I had counted forty-eight more; -- when I arrived at the rag. There were in all, then, a hundred paces; and, admitting two paces to the yard, I presumed the dungeon to be fifty yards in circuit. I had met, however, with many angles in the wall, and thus I could form no guess at the shape of the vault; for vault I could not help supposing it to be.”
