How Is The Locket Predictable

One soldier even suggests that the locket is a lucky charm for Edmond, seeing as though he has never even gotten a scratch from battle. This foreshadowing made the ending more predictable because the story continues to lead up to Edmond’s “death” when it has already been discussed that Edmond has never been injured from battle. Though it would’ve been very ironic if Edmond were really dead because of how “lucky” the locket is; that’s not the case here. The locket was introduced to the readers as being lucky, so throughout the story it is then seen as Edmond’s good luck charm, so obviously in the end he would reveal himself as

When the narrator finally opens the briefcase to unveil what secrets lie inside, he is initially shocked that the town’s big shots would give him more than a briefcase.

In the short story The Locket, it is believed that the author Chaplains writing style has kept the readers guessing throughout the story. Many would agree that the ending of the story was a shocker and few expected that conclusion. They would agree that the father-in-law proceeding with the funeral arrangements supporting the assumption the deceased person in the coffin was Edmund because he had the locket around his neck played into the authors plot twist. People would also say that the end of the story was intriguing, especially when Octavia opened the letter from the priest, returning her locket to her expressing his sorrow of the death of her husband Edmund. Only to find out at the very end Edmund was not dead and he was waiting for her at the door.

Four confederate soldiers where talking over the fire while waiting for orders from Edmond. Edmond had on a necklace and the other soldiers noticed and asked about it. Edmond told them it was a catholic token to protect him from danger, and it has protected him the whole time he's been at war. He told them that Octavia had given it to him. The locket contained a picture of he parents and the date they were married. Later that evening war broke out and a clergyman walked into the aftermath of the war trying to save the souls of people that may be alive. He saw a soldier with a locket and tore it away from him. He sent the locket with a letter to whoever was closest to the person that the locket belonged to.

Edmond has found the treasure he has been longing for and he is now very exciting and can’t wait for the ship to come back and get him.

The conclusion of the short story The Locket was predictable. It was not surprising that the story concluded with Edmond being alive. There was no indication in the story alluding to his death. The story began by detailing the tales of a small number of Confederate Soldiers who were camped out upon a hill waiting on orders from their leader. The story did not reveal what these instructions were. It is being assumed then that they were either waiting on instructions to go into battle, or waiting on instructions to go home to their families. It appears that all the men were located on the hills being idle. Some were engaging in idle talk, some were in deep thoughts about the loved ones they could not wait to return home to. They were also keeping watch over the area where they were located.

First of all Ms. Chopin made the boy laying on the battlefield dead sound like Edmond. She went as far to say in the book that a priest unclasped the necklace the dead soldier's body. Last we knew Edmond had the locket and never planned on letting it go. Never would the reader think that oh someone stole it between when he fell asleep and when the Union army attacked.

I felt the story of The Locket was bittersweet. In the beginning of the story you know that the locket was given to Edmund by his sweetheart. You also know that Edmund didn't really want the soldier that asked about the locket to know about it. It was almost like it was his own personal secret or that he didn't want the other soldier to make fun of him about the locket. That is why he made it seem like it was just a good luck charm to ward off danger.

Since it was a bloody mess on the battlefield, the locket could be something valuable to someone else. This part was the most suspenseful because a conflict was created. Octavie gave Edmond the locket because it was something she loved dearly. Now that it was stolen and never to be found, it creates a melancholy to the

Locke

The ending of “The Locket” was very surprising. Three reasons the ending was surprising was one, Edmon was still alive. Also, Octavie was always depressed so it was unexpected her husband was still alive. Lastly, Nick, his alli, stole the locket.

The Locket was a very interesting short story and my interest was held all the way until the very last sentence. I was very surprised with the ending. I believed Edmund was dead amongst the other soldiers on that hill. The story never explained that some men or one man escaped the ambush. So when the locket was returned to Octavie, I believed it was off of Edmond's body. It was very surprising that nobody from Edmonds family told her that he had survived or even returned until the very end.

In reading the short story The Locket by Kate Chopin, the conclusion is somewhat of a surprise. At first it seems that one of the main characters, Edmond, had been killed in a battle. A priest found a young man lying dead in the battlefield wearing the locket that Edmunds true love, Octavie, had given him. Then, Octavie, with her hopeless thoughts and conversations with an older man seem to hint at something ominous. In reviewing the story, the author reveals what is to come but it is not evident until the end of the story.

The story The Locket was a great and fascinating short story. But many argue that the ending was either predictable or surprising. In my opinion i think that the ending was predictable enough due to the details given in the story.
