What is the exposition of the ambitious guest?

Answer 1

First of the exposition is like an introduction to a story, in 'The Ambitious Guest' it says there is a family with a father, a mother, a grandmother, the eldest daughter (17 years old), alittle brother and a little sister, who were only five and six years old and a baby. This family was living in a house at a dangerous mountainside, which is connected to the main road. They see the mountain as their neighbor and they have a lot of guests who are the passer by and travelers. They are satisfied with the company of each other.

well that's what I know, I actually had to report this for my English & literature class, I got an +A, so hows that.

Answer 2

In "The Ambitious Guest" by Nathaniel Hawthorne, the exposition introduces a humble family living in a secluded mountain home. They are visited by a young traveler who reveals his lofty aspirations and dreams of achieving greatness. This sets the stage for the theme of ambition and the unpredictable nature of fate that unfolds in the story.
