Interlopers Epilogue Analysis

While some may say the character's in the short stories “ The Necklace”, “ The Rights To The Streets Of Memphis”, and “ The Interlopers” are affected by their own luck. The characters always made their own decisions. The characters were put at a metaphorical “ cross road”, they caused the events leading up to the outcome of their own fate, and each character had the right to make their own decisions.

In The Interlopers story there was two guys that don’t like each other. They threatened one another. If the other one comes on the other men’s property, he will kill him. At one point they met each other in the forest and they got stuck undeath something together. The one dude was being nice and other dude wasn't really accepting his kindness.

The short story “The Interlopers” by Saki demonstrates the ironic aura of man vs. nature, and man vs. man. Hector Hugh Munro, pen named Saki, was one of the most popular short story writers during the pre-World War I British literature era. He wrote many stories and is often referred to as a highly under rated author for British literature. His war experiences were apparent in the novellas that he wrote, and often gave readers a gloomy, disturbed feeling. Other stories by Saki include: “Gabriel-Ernest”, “The Toys of Peace”, and “The Storyteller”. These short stories specifically illustrate horror, and the advantage of living life outside of the box. The three predominant literary techniques in Saki’s “The Interlopers”

In conclusion, this curious bodies were not individuals, there were wolves. I don’t know what exactly happened, but they had perhaps died against the wolves since both were the interlopers interloping on the wolves’ territory. Even if the wolves have plagued the men, they will die as of this dangerous weather. Just one thing that could have happened was that if manhood could get on time, to save both Ulrich and Georg. The story of two vicious enemies who had finally turned into friends. The story in which the wolves’ territory was trespassed by the interlopers Georg and

“ ...For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.” (James 4:14) Words of truth from the book of truth. We have no idea how long our lives will be on this earth. This concept is brought to light even more in the two short stories we will be discussing, “The Story of an Hour” and “The Interlopers”. These two stories share some similarities and some differences that we will be looking at. These two stories show us a very important concept… “The Story of an Hour” and “The Interlopers” are perfect examples of how the expected does not always happen.

Many people desire to get something, and they fight each other to win their desire. They consider each other their enemies and do whatever it takes to be better than one another. When the enemies need help for same problem, they unite themselves to solve the problem. The short story “The Interlopers” by Saki is about unification and reveals how enemies become allies in harsh situations.

Both Ulrich and Georg begin screaming together for their men to help them: “Help! Someone help us! Quick! Vicious wolves are about to attack! Help! Please!”

Ulrich states, “Neighbour, if you will help me bury the old quarrel, I will ask you to be my friend,” (Saki 4). Each family has its own drive, each family is willing to kill, one family breaks, both drives are destroyed.

Death and damnation to you Ulrich von Gradwitz.”’ (Saki 85). Ulrich fires back with ‘“ Same to you, Georg Znaeym, forest thief, game snatcher.”’ (Saki 85). This proves that the men will die, and they can only hope by the other and his men. Although, the forest is so big, there is a chance the troops will never discover the men or the enemy will kill his men. This leaves them in nature, to suffer and die. On page 84, the text states that “he could not move from his present position till someone came to release him.” (Saki 84). The men were not getting free, and if no one ever found them, animals or a painful death, would. Lastly, the men could work together to not only to escape but to make life better for both families and the ones to come. After waiting in intense pain with not a hint of help on it way, Ulrich knew the would never survive the predicament if they didn’t work together. On page 86,

"Get up, you blithering idiot," growled the voice again, and the sound of someone jerking on a stone pavement. It was a bandit attack, no doubt. Surely Milawen could do something about that?

“I owe you my thanks first.” I held my hand out to him. It seemed insignificant compared to what he had done for me the night of the dinner.

“Wolves.""(Saki598). This quote gives us an example of what can happen if you don't let go of pity arguments. The wolves are symbolizing anger. The anger between these to men in the end is what killed these two. The author shows that

“O. M. G.” he yelled and suddenly slunked to the ground. “I can't live like this, knowing I was involved in this horrid massacre!” He was slowly carried
