compare and contrast the characters of Marshal and Ms.Fairchild in 'Hearts and Hands' in not more than 200 words
Answers
Explanation:
As the author presents the character in the first paragraph of the story, the unnamed marshal is a ruffled, glum-faced person, heavily built and roughly dressed. This appearance apparently makes him less likable. So it is rather easy for someone to take him as the convict handcuffed with the marshal. Introducing such a character makes O. Henry’s job easy to convince the readers that he is the convict and to bring the twist at the end.
Now, having read the entire story, the readers know that the second man was not really the convict, but the marshal. It is only at the very last sentence of the story that we know his real identity when another passenger says “Say–did you ever know an officer to handcuff a prisoner to his right hand?”

Miss Fairchild was a very pretty young woman, dressed elegantly. She was attractive with a lovely smile and a voice which was full, sweet and deliberate.
