The Op en Win OW by H. H. Munro (Saki) "My aunt will be down presently, Mr. Nuttel "said a very self-possessed young lady of fifteen; "in the meantime you must try and put up with me." Framton Nuttel endeavoured to say the correct something which should duly flatter the niece of the moment without unduly discounting the aunt that was to come Privately he doubted more than ever whether these formal visits on a succession of total strangers would do much towards helping the nerve cure which he was supposed to be undergoing. "I know how it will be," his sister had said when he was preparing to migrate to this rural retreat;"you will bury yourself down there and not speak to a living soul, and your nerves will be worse than ever from moping. I shall just give you letters of introduction to all the people I know there. Some of them, as far as I can remember, were quite nice." Framton wondered whether Mrs Sappleton, the lady to whom he was presenting one of the letters of introduction, came into the nice division. Use the story "The Open Window" by H. H. Munro to answer the question. What does the contrast between Framton's expectations before arriving to the country house and his first experiences there reveal about the theme of the story? (1 point) There are mischievous people everywhere who cannot be escaped. Mental peace comes from within, not necessarily from a relaxed setting. Tragedies happen more often in the country than in the city. There is a disconnect between people who live in rural areas and those who live in urban areas.

## Step 1The problem is asking us to analyze the story "The Open Window" by H.H. Munro and determine what the contrast between Framton's expectations before arriving at the country house and his first experiences there reveal about the theme of the story.## Step 2Framton Nuttel is a man who is sent to a rural area to recover his nerves. This indicates that he believes that the rural environment will provide him with the peace and quiet he needs to recover.## Step 3However, when he arrives, he finds that the niece of the house is a mischievous girl who tricks him into believing that her aunt's husband and brothers are dead. This is a stark contrast to his expectations.## Step 4The niece's trickery leads to Framton's nervous breakdown, which is the opposite of the peace and quiet he was expecting.## Step 5This contrast between Framton's expectations and his experiences reveals the theme of the story: mental peace comes from within, not necessarily from a relaxed setting.
