Paraphrase the story. What is revealed in the final sentence?
What will be an ideal response?
- An unnamed narrator describes his life in the confinement of a dark, dungeon-like enclosure, with no knowledge of his background or his upbringing. Eager to experience the beautiful world he knows only from books, he painfully makes his way into the open air and to a brightly lit hall where a gala affair is taking place. At his arrival the partygoers scream in terror and begin to flee. Making his way to the other side of the hall, he perceives the horrible creature that terrified them. In the final sentence, he realizes that he is looking into a mirror. From the description of his appearance at the end of the story, the most likely conclusion to be drawn is that the narrator is one of the undead, a ghoul, or, at the very least, abhuman (a term describing someone who is separate from normal human existence).
