Unhappy Ending I think that the outcome of Ambrose Bierce’s story‚ “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge‚” was credible because Bierce hints that Peyton Farquhar‚ the main character‚ is dead throughout his journey. If the reader pays close attention to the story‚ it becomes obvious that the escape is imagined and he is actually going to be hanged. The first piece of evidence that Farquhar is hallucinating is how unaware he is of his own struggle to free himself underwater. Farquhar states that “he

In all honesty‚ An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge was a bit confusing to read. It was not only confusing‚ but the ending was a surprise to the reader. In the story‚ we got to see many different aspects of the life of Peyton Farquhar. This story shows the difference that times were back then compared to now. In today’s would‚ a man would not be hung‚ let alone executed for tampering with a bridge. I also liked the part in the story of the betrayal of the soldier that appeared to be in the confederate

In An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge‚ by Ambrose Bierce‚ the author expertly uses the literary technique of foreshadowing to give the reader a constant hint that good old Peyton Farquhar is going to be a corpse by the end of the story. I enjoyed the more subtle instances of foreshadowing because they‚ to me‚ better demonstrate the writer’s skill. For instance‚ foreshadowing is demonstrated through the reoccurring mention of Farquhar’s neck all through the story. “His neck ached horribly.” (Paragraph
