One comment, is that the character of Margot Macomber is very strong and domineering. You almost get the sense, that the Macombers did not want to be married to one another. It appears as though Margot had infeldelity issues. This story is similiar to "The Waste Land", were the women were lonely in an bar. You almost get the smae sense of similiar issues in this story as well. Also, the story seems to exhibit the theme, that if an female is manipulative, she is considered to be bad. However, an manipulative male is considered to be clever and skilled. Lastly, this story seems to also be an battle between man and beast. However, like the wild creatures succumb at the end of the story, the man named Francis succumbs to death as well. Also, one must ask the question if "the woman meant to shoot the man or was it purely by accident"?.staciemccandlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07625346351835677707noreply@blogger.com
