Explanation:
Answer:
The forest Orrin Brower enters is described as a regions that is ‘wilder than it is now’, which foreshadows the danger and unexpected happening. This contributes to the tension of the story.
– Pathetic fallacy is used when the author describes the forest. ‘The night was pretty dark, with neither moon nor stars visible’. This conveys the idea of hopelessness of the fugitive, as ‘moon’ and ‘stars’ symbolizes hope.
– The line ‘there before him saw, indistinctively, the figure of a man, motionless in the gloom’ isolates the word ‘indistinctively’ through the use of commas. This emphasizes the perplexity of the character and builds onto the tension in the story
– ‘So the two stood there like trees, Brower nearly suffocated by the activity of his own heart’. The simile comparing the figure and Brower to trees conveys the still atmosphere of the scene, as if Brower has blended in with the forest as a tree.
The An Arrest section of Ambrose Bierce says that is:
- "Arrested" by Ambrose Bierce.
- After killing his brother-in-law, Orrin Brower of Kentucky was a fugitive from justice.
- From the district jail where he was detained to await trial, he took it.
- Ambrose Bierce, known for his sarcastic and demeaning attitude toward human nature, earned the nickname "Bitter Bierce."
- His sarcasm is fully illustrated in the Devil’s Dictionary, a book that originally appeared under the title The Cynic’s Word Book.
