One student, after reading Bierce’s story, objected to it on the grounds thatthe actions of the Federal Scout (paragraphs 9–17) are not believable. “Since when do military men dress up like the enemy and incite civilians to sabotage?” was her question. How would you answer it?
What will be an ideal response?
- One possible answer might be that Farquhar, “a slave owner and like other slave owners a politician,” has managed in his own way to engineer damage to the enemy and so has become a marked man. A believer in “at least a part of the frankly villainous dictum that all is fair in love and war” (par. 8), Farquhar is lured into a fatal trap by someone in the enemy camp who assents to the same view.
