The Irony of Fate
Did The Two Men From The Interlopers Get What They Deserve?
Within this dark and dreary world where we so happen to find things that stand in our way and throw a wrench into all of the plans that we have made to appease ourselves. These simple, seemingly ordinary things can turn a whole world into nothing but rubble. The worst thing about these irritating interlopers is the very fact that almost every time, without fail, they turn out to have some sinister and humorous irony about themselves. That irony can sometimes make life far too hard for some people to bear. But some people don’t have to for long. Many authors have written tremendous novels based on dark irony and those malicious things in this world. So very many of them have succeeded in portraying this irony perfectly, and that tells you how very horrible that irony truly is. The famous short story author, Saki, told a very grim and ominous story called, The Interlopers. In this gloomy story of his, he uses irony to the very greatest of its potential and in the very last moments, he used dark imagery to show two men seemingly being served justice, but one can be lead to think otherwise.
Saki wove an intricate and deceptive web in this story, so the readers have to think very hard to decide whether or not these men deserved their fate. With the horrible dispute that has been raging between the families of the two men for many long years seems to be petty, but goes deeper than just a squabble over land. These two men actually thirsted for each other’s blood, craving desperately to spill it upon their hands. All their lives they had been at this, but this time, things were getting serious and they know that they couldn’t just let this go. ...

... middle of paper ...

... this to be true. That’s why they absolutely deserved the death of any attempted friendship, an alliance, and the death of themselves.
Their deaths could’ve seemed cruel and untimely but given the circumstances and their frail attempts at fixing something far too broken to repair. These two men’s personal issues with each other kept a feud alive and burning which showed that their deaths was the perfect way to end this story. The irony in this is so hilarious as well. As they had tried to rebuild a friendship, their work was all for naught because they never got to spread the news of their alliance. These two families had been disputing for so long that it didn’t even matter anymore, it’s just land, and they were now fighting for honor or something. So to wrap it all up, the most definitely deserved dying out their all alone in the cold, miserable and frightened.
