Identites

In a well constructed paragraph discuss how the title and the use of contrast and irony contribute to the theme of the story. Contrast and irony are used in the title "Identites" to contiribute to the theme and mood of the story. The theme of the story is mistaken identites and judging. In the story, contrast is used in the way of the differences between the two neighbourhoods that the man was in that day. Irony is used when the man finally feels safety when is stoped by the cop but ironically he is the one who ends up ending the mans life. The tragedy would have never occured if the officer didnt miss judge the man for a criminal because the way he looked and the expensive car he was in, which was rare in that neighbourhood. In this case the irony of the mistaken identitie leads to a tragic event and plays a big role in the theme of the story.
