An Occurence at Owl Creek Bridge

I chose to analyze the paragraph that begins "He was now in full possession of his sense". The narrator is contradictory in that he states that Farquhar is in full possession of his senses, but he does not seem to have control over them at all. As soon as Farquhar has escaped from his noose, his perception of time returns to normal, but his senses are over exaggerated, maybe as if he wants to capture every moment againas he did when time slowed for him before his hanging. The only difference is that now, it is his senses that are changing his perception of the world. Everything he notices also seems to be full of life and color, a parallel to him as he has just escaped from death, and he seems to appreciate it when his senses return, as he states that his noted observations create music, which is generally pleasing. Also, as on the first page, his findings are still distacting him from what is important, as he has noticed the forest down to the dewdrops and insects, but has completely ignored his executioners, who are still a threat to him. The paragraph is absolute in that the narrator is simply stating what Farquhar observes, but it also conflicts within itself as Farquhar shouldn't be able to notice all these tiny details if his perception of the world has truly returned to normal.
