Humour plays a major role in the chapter, 'Mrs. Packletide's Tiger' Prove this statement with the instances of humour.
Short Answer
Solution
Humour in "Mrs. Packletide's Tiger" is evident through several instances. Mrs. Packletide’s desire to outshine Loona Bimberton, her absurd plan to shoot a tiger, and the irony of the goat being killed instead of the tiger all highlight the ridiculousness of her actions. The humorous twist comes when she must pay a large sum to Miss Mebbin to keep quiet, further emphasising the satire on vanity and social competition.
