Hardy

I think that the theme of “The Three Strangers” was wrong assumptions. These wrong assumptions were made because of little known information. Three strangers were brought to the same house within the same night. The fact that the story includes strangers shows that little is known about each of them in the beginning. An innocent man is thought of as guilty because of his reaction to the sight of the other two strangers. In the end, it is discovered that it was really the first stranger who was the criminal and the third strange, who was falsely accused,  was his brother.

Answer to the White Queen's Riddle

The answer to “The White Queen’s Riddle” is an oyster.
An ironic and unexpected twist in “The Walrus and the Carpenter” was that all the oysters were eaten. There was no clear sign that they had been eaten until the very end when the Carpenter had asked them a question, as if expecting a reply, but received no answer.

Love Similes

How great is my love for you?
My love for you is as deep as the ocean.
It is like a smile that won’t fade away; you bring me real joy.
I need your love like I need air to breath.
My love for you is as certain as the rising sun.
It is as desired as a raindrop during a drought.
My love for you is as lasting as a diamond.
I love you for all that you’ve done.
