Weirdness

10. Which of the following best describes the situation in lines 22–25 and the events that came immediately before it?

(A) The Duke has just noticed the Devil and laughs at him. The Devil returns the laugh, but quietly because he feels insulted.

(B) The Duke has just heard the Devil explain the tortures that lie in store for him. He believes the Devil is joking and laughs. The Devil mocks his laughter, implying that it is no joke.

(C) The Duke and the Devil have been talking, but the exact topic has purposefully been left vague.

(D) The Duke has heard the Devil’s plans for him and laughs defiantly at the Devil. The Devil puns on the Duke’s use of the word “Ha!” by saying “He!” By doing so, the devil indicates “He,” that is the Duke, will be punished for his sins.

(E) The Duke, believing he speaks with a lowly servant, laughs at the threats the Devil has made. The Devil laughs in order to play along with the Duke and draw out the Duke’s eventual humiliation.
