Analysis of The Main Conflicts in The Interlopers by Saki

This essay introduces us to a story called The Interlopers where the two main characters hold resentment towards each other. It started and got carried through grandparent’s generation. In fact the story holds more than one conflict that also stood in the way of the main characters.

The prime clash revolves around Ulrich and George. It came through quarrel between their grandfathers. Also centers on and about ownership of an old land. In addition it led them to nearly slaughter each other. That is when Ulrich strayed away from his group. He wondered alone in the forest to end up encountering his arch enemy. They were glaring at each other for a long silent moment. It was the moment they had been waiting for. However this conflict didn’t last long after another conflict strike upon them.

The subsequent conflict took part between Ulrich and George versus Nature who played her role by utilizing her power. Nature wild shriek of tempest stun, the brunches of tress and crashes over their head. Naturally preventing them from murdering each other. This bare moment they realized how all their past arguments matter nothing now. What’s more, they began to acknowledge how they are in a dangerous situation and they have to help each other in order to save their lives .unfortunately, even when they try helping each other, this time the wolves showed up instead of their men. What’s more given that there is no way to survive this crisis. 

Ulrich found himself doubtful which leads to another conflict within himself, showing how the character struggles to be true to themselves. The moment where Ulrich hesitated to kill George states the fact that Ulrich is not murder. But thanks to nature, Ulrich was able to come back to his sense and realize how all this dispute was just mare pointless and meaningless conflict. Ulrich agreed with George on this matter regarding that is foolish quarrel .nevertheless of what the society thinks of them.

The last conflict displays the social constraints on Ulrich and George .it is where the society pressures them with prejudice. It builds up enmity by their constraints. Hence it was fruitless to fight which brought nothing to each individual side. Furthermore, it turns to be that the society is blame on bringing this struggle upon the main characters. Both Ulrich and George had a share of overwhelming pressure from their people. Perhaps without this conflict it may results in a peaceful outcome of this matter.

In conclusion, all of the four conflicts that are mentioned in this essay majored in uplifting the story to its epilogue. It took the reader on a wild ride throughout the events that took place in the story, which is why I think the conflicts are a must element in the story to become magnificent one. Also the story gives us a message that is life is too short to dwell on petty conflict.
