Why does O’Henry compare Jim and Della’s gifts for each other as “Gifts of the Magi”?
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:Love and Sacrifice prompted Jim and Della to sell the greatest possessions of their life. They could not be exchanged for any amount of money. But the gift of Magi could be regarded as duplicate one in comparison with Jim and Della for the Magi collected their gifts merely against money.
Answer:
as Jim had brought a set of ornamental combs which Della can't use because to buy a gift for Jim she cut her hair, which she loved the most. and Della also brought the platinum chain for his grandfather's watch but for the gift for Della he sold his watch which he always at any time he wore. They were said the gift of magi because three people who came from a place to meet baby Jesus fo4 that they sacrifice their own beloved belongings to Jesus as a gift. As jim and della sacrificed their beloved things to buy a gift for each other so they were compared with the “Gifts of the Magi”.
