Story"A Face in The Dark"
Answers
Answer:
The story ends here touching its climax — the most intense point of the story coming at the end. This climax of the story is thrilling as the readers are left alone in that horrific moment, stranded without any explanation, without any idea what might have happened to Mr. Oliver seeing the watchman's face.
Answer:
Ruskin Bond’s short story “A Face in the Dark”, originally published in 2004, is very short and simple in terms of the plot and the language used. But the author has made a simple plot and ordinary setting look extraordinary by giving it a supernatural touch. The supernatural atmosphere is created by the elements like eerie sounds of the pine trees, batteries of the torch running down, flickering light, silent sobbing, lantern swinging in the middle of the path etc. All these things prepare us for some mysterious or uncanny happenings.
The story, though begins with the narration of ordinary daily occurrences, it turns out to be very intriguing and a thought-provoking one. The story reaches its climax when Oliver discovers that the boy and the watchman both have no eyes, ears, nose or mouth on their face. Now, what intrigues us most is what message the author actually wants to deliver. Is it just another horror story, or does it have some deeper meaning referring to the psychological sphere of human beings? This riddle is actually a characteristic feature of the post-modern literature.
