An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge
Sinopse
Ambrose Bierce’s short story presents the final moments of Peyton Farquhar, a Confederate sympathizer, who is condemned to be hanged from a railroad bridge during the American Civil War. As the execution is carried out, an unexpected event changes his immediate fate, and Farquhar finds himself able to escape into the area below. From there, the narrative shifts from a straightforward account of events to a focus on his perceptions and inner experience, following his urgent attempt to make his way back home. The story’s distinctive approach builds toward a startling outcome without relying on a conventional, linear progression.
