Different Enemies in Saki’s “Interlopers” In the short story, “Interlopers”, by Saki, a huge theme is that there will never be permanent enemies in the world. This theme is first proven when Ulrich von Gradwitz is first shown in the forest, hunting for an enemy by the name of Georg Znaeym whose family stole and trespassed on his family’s land for generations: “a long series of poaching affrays and similar scandals had embedded the relationships between the families for three generations” (Saki…

Media has had an enormous influence on the world today. Media informs us, entertains us, influences what clothes we buy, what we eat, and even shapes our opinions. Film and newspapers can have an especially powerful effect in changing our attitudes and beliefs. This is highlighted in the media campaigns of Edward Bernays. Edward Bernays was considered the father of public relations, and was also the nephew of Sigmund Frued. In one of his many media campaigns he was tasked with changing attitudes…

The Smoky Mountains are home to a wide variety of plants. The Great Smoky Mountains national park is over 800 square miles, and throughout this vast space is found a large diversity of plants. The national park is over 95% forested, and is sometimes referred to as the “wildflower national park”. While over 12,000 plant species have been discovered in the park, there is evidence that there may be as many as 90,000 unfound species. The range of elevations throughout the Smoky Mountains makes it a…

species prefer more sunlight exposure for optimal growth however but still have the potential to grow in dry and wet sites. Even though these species, like some others, can live in both areas, species like yellow poplar, southern sugar maple, American beech, black gum, tulip tree, and red oak could not grow in dry areas. This then makes the wet site have more of species richness and with variation makes it a better community. Furthermore, the result also support that since there is a difference…

Throughout the story it is apparent how the setting, in a forest during a windy night, supports situational irony. It promotes irony in that if it wasn’t windy or even in a forest this story could have possibly never happened and “a mass of falling beech tree . . . thundered down on them” trapping them, ultimately ending in their demise would not have happened either. The end of the story also contains verbal comic relief irony when “both men raised their voices in as loud a shout as they could…

The story “The Interlopers” written by Saki is also connected with Nietzsche’s philosophy on Apollo and Dionysus, which are central themes within his first major work, The Birth of Tragedy. I am going to argue that the Apollonian and Dionysian philosophy can describe not only humans and that someone can go from Dionysus to Apollo with just a few words. I am going to argue this despite the fact that in general this philosophy is applied on human beings, yet relating it with “The Interlopers”.…
