I think The Open Window story is full of irony. First of Vera's name itself shows the irony because her name means truth, but she is totally the opposite do not even close. But the biggest irony in the story is that Ms.Nuttel has gone to the country on his Doctors’ recommendation because he thought that it will be restful for him. And his sister also thinks he would be better with being around people. Ms.Nuttel goes in hope to find peace and quiet for his nervous condition. But he finds the…

lead to major disagreements. This is shown in the short stories, “Rules of the Game” by Amy Tan, which is a story of a young girl named Waverly who falls in love with chess and becomes sort of a local celebrity. The short story “The Interlopers” by Saki which is a story of two families in the middle of property feud.

and the first time I read it, it took a few minutes to pass through my brain. I found that it was different from any short story I have read so far thus I managed to enjoy it a lot. Here are my thoughts and ideas about this short story, written by Saki. Like the title, The Interlopers, the short story itself includes of several different interlopers. Things or people that become involved in situations where they are not wanted or where they do not belong are included in this short story. The…

lying is necessary, one will use it to fit his needs. However, not all situations are bad situations. An example of lying to control someone’s actions is portrayed in between the stories “The Pimienta Pancakes” by O. Henry and “The Open Window” By Saki. In the greater scheme of what is wrong and right, lying is wrong unless it is used for the greater good. “The Pimienta Pancakes” By O. Henry Takes place in the olden western days in a town named San Miguel. Times of poor hygiene, intellect, and…

The last short story, “Filboid Studge, the Mouse that Helped” We could say that the common element in the short stories of Saki is because of the types of writing style he uses for his short stories, a blend of satire, irony, revenge, clever dialogues, surprising endings, psychological insights, mystery and even sometimes, horror. While Saki is well known for being always a satirist that mainly focused on the Edwardian Society on which he often mock. On the short stories…

of kindness shows us how vulnerable people can become when you are kind to them. It has also been a part of our culture but not one that we teach to children. Being kind to others was a central theme in certain literature such as The Open Window by Saki, The Tell Tale Heart and Poe and The Cask of Amontillado, both by Edgar Allan Poe. Yet in these stories the other side of kindness, the lying is made easier by it and the presence of kindness in these pieces of literature strengthens my point.…
