Question

An example of metaphor in F. Scott Fitzgeralds short story "Babylon Revisited" is:

Having the character of Marion dislike the main character

Making the story take place in paris to suggest a romance scene

Using the title to hint at the ruins of a life of excess wealth

Including a child to make the main character seem more likeable

Answer 1

"Using the title to hint at the ruins of a life of excess wealth" is an example of a metaphor in F. Scott Fitzgeralds short story "Babylon Revisited". The story titled "Babylon Revisited" take place in Paris. It seems like the author could write the story title as "Paris Revisited". However, F. Scott Fitzgeralds used the Babylon's name in the title to reflect the materialism and the wealthy aspect from the story.
