Question

Which of the following best summarizes a theme in the story "The Cone"

Answer 1

Answer:

You can lose yourself to anger and do unspeakable things.

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

• Love, especially when it is immoral, cannot overcome true evil.
• Everyone has the capacity for evil, but it takes strength to forgive rather than take revenge.
• Revenge is justified when a person is betrayed by someone they trusted.
• You can lose yourself to anger and do unspeakable things.

The story "The Cone" by H. G. Wells talks about a man who suspects his wife of having an affair. Upon meeting the man that his wife is dating, he shows him around his factory, which is full of dangerous objects. The betrayed man's anger pushes him to kill the visitor in a gruesome way. This shows that anger can sometimes lead people to act in unspeakable and horrifying ways.
