Question

from "Was it a Dream?"

On turning round I saw that all the graves were open, that all the dead bodies had emerged from them, and that all had effaced the lies inscribed—engraved or written on the gravestones by their relations, substituting the truth instead.

And I saw that all had been the tormentors of their neighbors—malicious, dishonest, hypocrites, liars, rogues, calumniators, envious; that they had stolen, deceived, performed every disgraceful, every abominable action, these good fathers, these faithful wives, these devoted sons, these chaste daughters, these hones

Answer 4

On turning round I saw that all the graves were open, that all the dead bodies had emerged from them, and that all had effaced the lies inscribed—engraved or written on the gravestones by their relations, substituting the truth instead.

And I saw that all had been the tormentors of their neighbors—malicious, dishonest, hypocrites, liars, rogues, calumniators, envious; that they had stolen, deceived, performed every disgraceful, every abominable action, these good fathers, these faithful wives, these devoted sons, these chaste daughters, these honest tradesmen, these men and women who were called irreproachable. They were all writing at the same time, on the threshold of their eternal abode, the truth, the terrible and the holy truth of which everybody was ignorant, or pretended to be ignorant, while they were alive.

I thought that SHE also must have written something on her tombstone, and now running without any fear among the half-open coffins, among the corpses and skeletons, I went toward her, sure that I should find her immediately. I recognized her at once, without seeing her face, which was covered by the winding-sheet, and on the marble cross, where shortly before I had read:

"She loved, was loved, and died."

I now saw:

"Having gone out in the rain one day, in order to deceive her lover, she caught cold and died."

It appears that they found me at daybreak, lying on the grave unconscious.



Why does the author choose to present the events of the story in an episodic style?
Presenting the events in order keeps the reader from learning too much at the beginning.
The events of the story are too complex to be told using a different structure.
Using an episodic style emphasizes the dream-like nature of the narrator's story.
Telling the story using a linear style most closely shows how the narrator experienced it.

Answer 5

Ya it did wtf, here @Vocaloid ^^^^

Answer 6

episodic style means that the writer uses loosely related events/parts and puts them together

the key thing to notice here , is that something impossible happens in the story

Answer 12

the reader sees a ghost, and the ghost changes the writing on the tombstone

the author is most likely dreaming or imagining things
