Question

mrs sappletons tregedy happened _____​

Answer 1

In "The Open Window," the so-called tragedy of Mrs. Sappleton amounts to an invention of her niece, Vera. Vera tells a story about how her aunt had lost her husband and her brothers to a hunting trip roughly three years previously. Unable to accept the reality of their deaths, Vera continues, her aunt had spent these past three years continuously awaiting their return, leaving the window open to grant them entry. Vera tells this story to the visiting Framton Nuttel (who believes this piece of fiction).

Once the three hunters actually do return from their trip, Framton believes it is a haunting and flees the scene. Vera then proceeds to tell a new story (also invented), concerning Framton's fear of dogs. This, she claims, must have been the cause of his fright.

I HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL FOR YOU ☺️ AND PLEASE MARK ME AS BRAINLIST ♥️♥️
