what is the theme of the story "A Face in the Dark" by Ruskin Bond?
Answers
Supernatural Element
The story has hues of supernatural elements. Mr.Oliver,the protagonist has been described as a man who is not easily given to nervousness or imagination.
On that particular night, it was dark and stormy and because of being a bachelor and lonely, it led him to imagine something supernatural like a boy without face, a kind of ghost. A boy's school cap might be lying on a rock, which Oliver, in the flickering light of his torch, imagined to be a faceless boy. Again it was his fear that made him imagine the watchman too as being faceless.
The story ends with a sense of ambiguity, making the readers ponder over the question whether it were ghosts, which Oliver encountered or whether it was a prank played upon him by a mischievous student.
