Answer:
Explanation:
In the story "Dusk" there is irony. It is ironic that the main character, who believes himself to be a good judge of character, gets deceived by the young man who shared the park bench with him. Gortsby believes that the time of day known as dusk brings out defeated and shady characters
Gortsby is one of life's observers. He likes nothing better than to engage in a spot or two of people-watching. From his exalted position on a park bench, he enjoys casting his Olympian gaze over the great mass of humanity that passes by.
When Gortsby walked past the park bench, the elderly gentleman was searching for his bar of soap. It was then that Gortsby realised that he had been fooled by the young man.
He does as expected because he is amused. Whatever the young man is going to ask him for, the answer will be no. Gortsby is doubly suspicious and defensive with the young man's response to his question: The young man turned to him with a look of disarming frankness which put him instantly on his guard.
The main theme of the short story "Dusk" is the inscrutability of human nature. In this story by Saki, we have the theme of appearance, perception, guilt, deception and self-importance. Sitting at the park Gortsby appears to be an individual who judges others.
