Question

About accursed house, state how the plot of the story is a subtle satire on a human nature

Answer 1

Answer:

While going through the short story section of this form, I remembered a story by French writer Emily Gabriau, 'The Accursed House. The story is an excellent satire on self centered society, It revolves around a young man, vincomte, who is generous enough to reduce the rent of his building,for the benefit of tenants, However, everyone misunderstands his emotions and he is branded as a smuggler and his property is declared haunted.
