Saki The Interlopers Analysis

560 Words | 3 Pages

In the short story "the Interlopers" by Saki, the mood in the beginning is rather ominous and suspenseful, the author shows this with the setting which is shown in the first few lines of this story, "In a forest of mixed growth somewhere on the eastern spurs of the Carpathians, a man stood one winter night watching and listening", "Ulrich von Gradwitz patrolled the dark forest in quest of a human enemy". If we analyze these two sentences it really expresses the mood, the Carpathian mountains are very vast and treacherous, also the fact that it is a winter night and the man is alone really gives it that ominous feeling. One of the major things that really affects the mood in the beginning of the story is the fact that Ulrich was hunting a "human." The author makes this fact seem even more ominous by using different words, for instance "Ulrich von Gradwitz is patrolling (not walking or any other form of movement) the forest and he is looking for a "human enemy. " This is makes the mood more chilling because it creates the thought that he is guarding something.
