Question

Justify the title "The Dusk​

Answer 1

Answer:

The title of Saki's short story,"Dusk," is appropriate given the setting of the story. Norman Gortsby, the protagonist of the story, defines dusk as "the hour of the defeated." Given that Norman is out at dusk, one can only asume that he will find defeat by the end of the tale.

Answer 2

The Dusk is an appropriate title for the short story.

• The dusk is a short story by Saki.
• Norman Gortsby was sitting in the park at 6.30 pm.
• It was dusk already.
• According to Norman Gortsby dusk was the hour of the defeated.
• It is the time when the sun says goodbye and sunlight vanishes into nowhere.
• Faint moonlight and many street lights were present.
• At this point, people who had fought and lost come out.
• This is the apt time for the losers as their dirty clothes, bowed shoulders and unhappy eyes will go unnoticed by other successful people.
