What is the problem in the story An Occurrence at Owl creek Bridge?

Answer 1

An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge is set during the American Civil War. It opens as a man is about to be hanged from the Owl Creek Bridge by Union soldiers. He is dropped between the railroad trusses of the bridge.

The second section is a flashback, showing the man, Peyton Farquhar, a slave-owner and planter, at home on his plantation. A soldier stops for a drink and tells him that the Union troops have taken the Owl Creek Bridge, but they are not watching it closely. He informs Farquhar that someone could easily sabotage the bridge by burning the drift wood that surrounds it.

The third section opens with Farquhar falling through the air. He swings at the end of the rope and then feels himself falling in the water. He knows the rope has snapped. He swims through the creek as the soldiers fire at him. He escapes, wandering through the woods to his plantation. Just as he is about to embrace his wife, he feels a snap at the back of his neck. He dies, hanging from the Owl Creek Bridge. The entire escape scene, which is rendered with great detail, was all a delusion.

The writer just wants to portray that war isn't clean and neat or that it doesn't always enlist the most honest or noble causes like the media wants people to believe. That war is violent,graphic,hardships are placed on families,people change killing others,it bloody and messy. That people forget that the cause they are fighting for requires sacrifice and often the respect to those that do go and fight often come back worse off from a respect point a view. They often take jobs that don't show they sacrifice to the countries cause and they escape these feeling by pretending they are going back home to their loved ones.

He heads into the forest, setting his path by the sun and traveling the entire day. The thought of his family urges him on. Taking a remote road, he finds himself in the early morning standing at the gate of his home. As he walks toward the house, his wife steps down from the verandah to meet him. He moves to embrace her but feels a sharp blow on the back of his neck and sees a blinding white light all about him. Then silence and darkness engulf him.
