The Ransom of Red Chief:

"The Ransom of Red Chief" is a short story by O. Henry first published in the July 6, 1907 issue of The Saturday Evening Post. It follows two men who kidnap, and demand a ransom for, a wealthy Alabamian's son. Eventually, the men are driven crazy by the boy's spoiled and hyperactive behavior, and they pay the boy's father to take him back.

The story and its main idea have become a part of popular culture, with many children's television programs depicting versions of the story as one of their episodes. It has also been often used as a classic example of two ultimate comic ironies – a supposed "hostage" actually liking his abductors and enjoying being captured, and his captors getting their just deserts by having the tables turned on them, and being compelled to pay to be rid of him.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

As the title suggests, the main character of O. Henry's ironic story is the only son of Ebenezer Dorset, the boy who calls himself "Red Chief, the terror of the plains."  And, he is, indeed, a terror as he hurls a brick into the face of Bill, one of the kidnappers as he is caught.

Instead of being frightened, Red Chief is delighted to have Bill Driscoll with whom he can pretend to be a wild Indian.  Sam, the narrator comments,

Yes, sir, that boy seemed to be having the time of his life.  The fun of camping out in a cave had made him forget that he was a captive himself.

Of course, the irony is that Bill in effect becomes the captive and Red Chief the captor as he has Bill hit with rocks, tied, whipped, ridden like a horse, and on the ground with his hair pulled and a knife poised at his scalp.  So terrorized by Red Chief is Bill that he tells his partner that one more night of this boy's presence will send him to Bedlam [hospital for the insane in New York].

Knowing that his son is an "enfant terrible," Mr. Dorset offers to not pay the ransom, but take the boys off the men's hands if they pay him $250.  So, desperate to be rid of the boy who has physically abused them and made them fearful, the men agree.  Red Chief, "the terror of the plains," triumphs in his unruly behavior and fantastic imagination.
