Today, something keeps playing over and over again in my head, it is the story, “The Interlopers”. After reading the short story, there were a few questions and answers that kept running through my head. I tried to think deeper into the story and understand each and everything about the plot. This helped me identify most of the author’s messages in the story but the thinking process took a while. Now, before I forget these thoughts, I want to pen them down on this surface.
To start with, as the story slowly turned around the corner and came to an end, I questioned myself about the title, “The Interlopers” and how it connected to the story’s interlopers. Then, I read the story once again and it was clear that there were many objects or things …show more content…
Georg was the interloper in the forest which was owned by Ulrich but Georg thinks that Ulrich’s ancestry didn’t get the land fairly and thus declares Ulrich as the interloper. Both of them declare each other as intruders in the forest, but the part that both of them don’t realize is that they both are the interlopers in nature. First of all, it is because they both are arguing over who the land is owned by, but they forget that no one owns nature and without realization this makes them the interlopers in nature. They are also interlopers since they are in the forest at the wrong time. They are there to fight about the topic they have had a dispute upon, but the storm is a warning of Mother Nature getting angry upon a dispute over nature’s ownership. Another reason the men were interlopers in the forest was because they were not supposed to be in the forest. Signs in the story that indicate this was the storm and also the roebucks or the …show more content…
“The Interlopers” is a story that uses a lot of ironic situations which help in promoting emphasis and a surprising impact. The ending of the story and the part when Ulrich sees the wolves is a time in the story that you are not expecting. This is because Ulrich von Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym gladly talk about how they see people and they have full faith in the point that someone would come to save them. They also talk about how things were better now because they were friends. This is why you do not expect the outcome to be the wolves because the predictions relate to either living a life or dying without the soldiers arriving. Proof from the text is "I can see figures coming through the wood. They are following in the way I came down the hillside." This line shows that the two men see people coming towards them and they are getting excited. They have a conversation on whose men they are, but in the end the unknown occurs and instead of people, wolves are seen striding towards them. The men are left horror stricken and the readers are left surprised. Another section of the story that displays situational irony is "Let 's shout for help," he said; he said; "in this lull our voices may carry a little way. They will not carry far through the trees and undergrowth," said Georg, "but we can try. Together, then." This is ironic because they are shouting out into the wild, but they know it is not going to help. In the end, when
