Saki

Thesis: Saki, in The Interlopers says, We are trapped by our own ill will; to be free of it we need to put aside our violence by making peace and realizing the unimportance of it. We focus on ill will and let it consume us. As did Ulrich von Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym did, “as boys they had thirsted for one another’s blood, as men each prayed that misfortune might fall on the other.” (Saki 7) They were raised into despising one another due to their family’s feud (that started generations ago…

Saki is famous for one of his short stories called The Interlopers. The Interlopers is said to have a good amount of irony in it. It does in fact have this. The Interlopers is about two men who have a burning hatred for each other and it has been this way for generations in their family name. They both seek to kill the other or have the other die in some way. The irony of this story comes in what happens at the end. The irony in the story is that both men die. This might not sound like irony but…

up being very important to the plot, but he doesn’t show up until the end, so he would not be counted as a main character. Compare the main character to the two from The Interlopers: Georg Znaeym and Ulrich von Gradwitz, two men. Kate Chopin and Saki made unalike choices in characters when it comes to gender, amount, and personalities.

The pressure builds up as wealthier people start moving in replacing those who left or will leave. Furthermore, when housing and renting prices rise, those who are unable to afford it will be forced to plan an alternative way to save their homes.

Narayan’s “Like the sun” Sekhar decides to tell the truth for the whole day. In Saki’s “The open window” Vera tell Mr. Nuttel lies the moment she meets him.
