Dusk Questions & Answers
Question 1: Where did Norman Gortsby sit? How does the narrator describe the dusk in and around the park?
Answer 1: Norman Gortsby sat on a bench in the almost deserted park. It was some thirty minutes past six on an early March evening, and dusk had fallen heavily over the scene mitigated by some faint moonlight and many street lamps.
Question 2: How does Norman Gortsby view ‘Dusk’?
Answer 2: Norman Gortsby views dusk as the hour of the defeated. The people who had fought and lost came out at this time so that their shabby clothes, bowed shoulders and unhappy eyes might pass unnoticed and unrecognized by those who were successful.
Question 3: How did the young man present himself as genuine in his tale?
Answer 3: The young man was agitated as he sat on the bench to gain Gortsby’s attention. He frankly stated that he had done the silliest thing in his life. His reference to the mix up in hotel bookings is often a genuine problem faced by travellers. His stepping out to buy an essential item such as a bar of soap lent further credence to the story. Thus, by blaming himself and behaving frankly, he presented himself as a genuine person.
Question 4: Why had the young man have to book a room in an unknown hotel?
Answer 4: The young man had to book a room in an unknown hotel because the Patagonian Hotel he had come to lodge had been pulled down and a cinema theatre run upon its site.
