Justify the title of Elsie Brown’s story ‘A Shady Plot’ |
|
Answer» Elsie Brown very appropriately titles her short-story ‘A Shady Plot’. The adjective ‘shady’ means anything of dubious character or of questionable honesty. The writer John Hallock was struggling to write a ghost story. However, the elusive dubious plot took a concrete shape after a series of strange incidents. Ironically, Helen’s ghost inspires his creativity. In the end, what the writer gets is not a ‘shady’ but the ‘fulliest’ or the best plot for the story. |
