It was about dusk, one evening during the supreme madness of the carnival season, that I encountered my friend. He accosted me with excessive warmth, for he had been drinking much. The man wore motley. He had on a tight-fitting parti-striped dress, and his head was surmounted by the conical cap and bells. I was so pleased to see him that I thought I should never have done wringing his hand. What is the purpose of the author's description of Fortunato's clothing? 1. Fortunato's dressforeshadows his being a fool or buffoon. 2. Fortunato's dress is described to show the reader that he had been drinking. 3. Fortunato's dress is described to indicate the role his bells will have in the ending scene. 4. Fortunato's dress represents the revelry of the carnival season.
