The ending of a short story, “The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber” by Ernest Hemingway, have left readers to carefully consider if Wilson thought Margot shoots francis intentionally or not.

For example, “‘…three of us into Nairobi. Why didn’t you poison him? That’s what they do in England”’ (page 16, line 26-27). The effect of this detail is that what Wilson said to Margot sounds like black humour saying that she should’ve done this in a better way than to shoot Macomber straight away. Wilson likes Margot, if he knows that Margot shot
