Answer» ‘The Tale of Melon City’ is best understood for its irony and humour. HUMOUR: - The king decides to make an arch across the thoroughfare to edify the spectators. He creates a humorous scene when he dashes with the arch and loses his crown.
- The king is of the mind of punishing the guilty that made the faulty arch. His chasing one after another and their excuses and blaming the king indirectly presents a ludicrous show.
- When the wisest man is called, his conclusion of pointing the arch to be the culprit and their assay to hang it, giggles us.
- We cannot but grin when we find the king to be the fittest person for the hang.
- The process of choosing the new king and melon as the king creates utmost humour an us.
IRONY: - The king who desired for a hang to punish the guilty gets hanged for the public wanted a hang.
- The wise man was selected because he was old and he could not see anything and points the arch to be the guilty and should be hanged without any precision.
- The ministers chose a king on basis of a fool’s choice, i.e., a melon. And all accepted without bothering whether the king was human or not.
