“The Interlopers” by Saki is a story of bitter hatred, grudging reconciliation, and the unmerciful acts of nature. Ulrich and Georg are two men that continued to supply their everlasting conflict between their families. Unfortunately, spontaneous events changed their life in the east of the Carpathian Mountains. The process the author managed to keep the story continuing with so much suspicion is the reason why this has become a favorite of mine. The way he kept the suspicion thorough, he used literary terms such as point of view, foreshadowing, and irony. First of all, the point of view the story is written in is third person omniscient, as in the narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of the characters. The author begins to use signs

“The Interlopers” and “The Sniper” are two thrilling stories that captivate your attention by adding the right amount of wits and feelings, to the right amount of action and adventure.

The short story “The Man Who Loved Flowers” by Stephen King, is told by a third person omniscient narrator. This is illustrated when the narrator describes the characters as the pronouns ‘he’ and ‘her’ and also since the narrator has access to multiple characters’ thoughts and feelings. For instance in this quote it is clear to see that he uses the pronouns ‘he’ and ‘her’.
“The Interlopers” by Saki, is a story mixed with man vs. man, man vs. nature, and man vs. self, conflict. The resolution is a very surprising twisted fate however. In the beginning we learn of the three generation long quarrel between the Gradwitz’s and the Znaeym’s. “A famous law suit, in the days of his grandfather” (152). The boys grow up hating each other and wishing each other misfortune, and even death upon each other. “as boys they had thirsted for one another's blood, as men each prayed that misfortune might fall on the other” (152). On that night both of the men separate from their groups in search of each other. After a few minutes of searching they find each other. But as fate may have it, nature strikes both men. Suddenly the harsh
A narrator, who is without a name, tells of his first hand experiences throughout the story. This is in contrast to ‘Miss Brill’ in which narrative is delivered in the third person, with the use of free indirect speech to depict the story and portray the characters. By Wells selecting a first person narrative he draws the reader closer into the character’s mind set. This gives Wells the ability to convey the primary characters full spectrum of emotional thought, from open mindedness to the conflict and fear within him. First narrative provides the reader insight to thoughts and observations therefore adding suspense of the unknowing into the gothic style.
A third-person narration story is a separation or indirect involvement of a narrator with the action of a story, and this type of narration can influence the content and the theme of a story. A third-person storyteller can sometimes be all-seeing, also known as omniscient, or they can be limited meaning to adhere firmly to the viewpoint of a specific character or characters. Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery” and Kurt Vonnegut Jr.’s “Harrison Bergeron” are two good examples of third-person point of view stories. These two stories give the authors the liberty to influence their content and theme across to readers using third-person narration without being biased.

While this text is set from a third person viewpoint, it also uses an interesting narrative technique, which is known as 'free indirect discourse' or 'free indirect style'. This is when a third person story uses certain features of first person speech. This style is different in the fact that introductory expressions such as, ‘she thought’, and ‘they said’, are not used. Using this technique allows a third person text to utilise a first person perspective, portraying the characters thoughts and words more directly.
