The main character in this short story is a critical man who is basically a writer; his name is Anders. Apart from him, there are few other characters including the woman who was also standing in the line and also the gunman. The author of this story described them by their behavior not be physical appearance apart from the gunman. The author described him as a blue-eyed man wearing a mask. The author mentioned the main character with some main features in his personality. The way he was noticing every detail of the painting, the way he was not following the instructions of the gunman even after knowing that he might get killed, all these show that how critical type of a person he was.

The most important event in the entire story was when even after warning him about the dire consequences of his behavior, Anders again laughed, this made the gunman furious, and ultimately he killed the main character. This turned out to be the end of his life and also it is the most important event in the entire short story. The plot in this short story is structured quite linearly. Every incidence in the story is aligned with the next one. Whatever happening next in the story is a continuation of the previous one, and they are associated with each other so deeply that the entire story gets imprinted in the reader’s mind and it almost sounds like a real accident where a bank is robbed, and a guy is killed. The author linked every aspect of the story wisely, so the plot of the story is not hard to believe.

The conflict in this story is both external and internal. There are some incidents that happened in the life of the main character that made him a complex person, while he was in that situation he got a chance to think about his life, and the laugh was basically at himself rather than on anyone else, but the external condition did play a role in that. By putting him in that situation where he could do nothing but laugh at himself, he was then killed, so the main conflict is a combination of both.

The theme is hidden inside the story; it is not fully expressed. A story like this can bring a variety of things to mind. The author in this story gives out the message to be daring at the right time. It tells us to be sensible and to distinguish the right way to do things. Another message that is quite apparent from this story is of respect. Respect is the main axis in this story where all the other themes can be derived. He is so lost in himself that he no longer knows how to give respect to the people around him; therefore; as a result, he lost his life.
