Read the excerpt from “Good Country People.” Mrs. Hopewell, who had divorced her husband long ago, needed someone to walk over the fields with her; and when Joy had to be impressed for these services, her remarks were usually so ugly and her face so glum that Mrs. Hopewell would say, “If you can’t come pleasantly, I don’t want you at all,” to which the girl, standing square and rigid-shouldered with her neck thrust slightly forward, would reply, “If you want me, here I am—LIKE I AM.” Based on Mrs. Hopewell’s attitude toward the fields, it is reasonable to infer that the story takes place

"Good Country People" is a short story written by American novelist Flannery O'Connor that was first published in 1955. It tells the story of Mrs Hopewell and her daughter Joy and their lives in their farm in Georgia.

Based on Mrs. Hopewell's attitude toward the fields, it is reasonable to infer that the story takes place on a wide, isolated expanse of farmland. In the excerpt provided in the question, it shows how, first, Mrs Hopewell lives in a place with a vast majority of farmland and also how she is, someway, lonely and therefore needs Joy to join her during her walks over the fields.

dramatic irony occurs when the reader/audience knows more about a character's situation than the character does. the one main effect is that it gives the reader a sense of superiority, or detached superiority. the reader not only seemingly discovers what is revealed, but feels superior for doing so.
