We see that in the story there are false predictions which advance the romantic escape story.
It is the surprise ending which helps us readers get back from the fictional world to reality. We see that different motifs such as time and noose help in supporting the theme of the story.
The complete structure of the story is actually balanced out by the realistic death along with the false romantic escape.
