Looking at these after reading the road definitely made me think. I the movie version, in place of the last passage, I think I would put these pictures together and flip through them.

Hamlet is everywhere!!

Hamlet was quoted in my psych textbook!

“Assume a virtue, if you have it not, For use can almost change the stamp of nature.”

The quote helped to explain that when humans say something they do not truly believe, they tend to change their opinions and begin to believe what they had said. Hamlet tells his mother to "assume a virtue" because then maybe she will actually begin to believe in that virtue.

An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge

Second to the Last paragraph of part III

Peyton Farquhar walks all the way to his home through the forest and sees his wife. However, suddenly everything becomes dark and silent. How much is true and how did he “actually” die? If nothing in part III happened, then how long did it take for Farquhar to die? What is reasonable and unreasonable? Most of part III is description, but it turns out to be the description of “imagination”. However, the author never draws clear line between actual facts and what Farquhar perceived as facts. Instead of detailed contradictions, the author flips the story and makes the whole story ambiguous. It is even questionable that he was even hung for the interference of the railroad construction. Throughout the story, he does not talk to or touch anyone, and when he is about to touch his wife, he comes back to the “reality”, if there were any.

Did part III happened after his death? It also sounds fairly reasonable. Part III might have happened after Farquhar’s death, but the author just kept it from the readers until the last sentence of the story. Is he conscious or not? Concluding the story is far more difficult than it initially appeared to be because of the last two paragraphs; what readers perceived to be true and facts became more ambiguous than ever. Depending on how much is real, different conclusions can be drawn.
