He was hanged
Ambrose Bierce likely intended Farquhar's escape to seem both believable and surreal. By weaving a detailed, sensory-rich narrative of Farquhar's flight, Bierce immerses the reader in the character's psychological state, making the escape feel vivid and real. However, the story's twist ending reveals that the escape is ultimately a product of Farquhar's imagination in his final moments, blurring the line between reality and illusion. This duality enhances the story's exploration of the themes of hope and the harshness of fate.
Oedipus defies the will of the gods by trying to avoid his fate. Ironically, what he does to avoid his fate only leads him to complete it. It is more of a paradox than a conflict.
