The Story's Themes

Another of Saki's grimly shocking tales is "Dusk." Gortsby, the narrator, spent an entire novel having people jogging around at dusk. He sees the interest of the general populace as defeated, and he believes that sunset denotes the moment of destruction for mankind. Because the story is told from a third-person limited point of view, the majority of Gortsby's characterization occurs through Saki's recording of Gortsby's thoughts. The character has a negative view of humanity and has been through some sort of drubbing of his own- – Saki don't ever hints at what Gortsby's dissatisfaction is; he simply writes that it isn't money-related.
