Abstract

Short stories often have a shorter reading period and the aim is "to give pleasure," but they also convey moral lessons. The purpose of storytelling is to expose human frailties, such as stupidity and hypocrisy, rather than to depict the actual events. In addition to being a widely read literary genre, short stories may cover a wide range of themes, but their authors are limited in their vocabulary and must utilize simple language that is nonetheless engaging. It teaches a moral lesson, and after reading the story, the reader feels renewed and content. Aristotle believed that the play's central idea was the short story's storyline. He interprets the short story as a compilation of events. The author arranges a variety of events to develop his subject. Despite its many configurations, the brief story is straightforward and solemn. The short narrative is fairly simple to write in terms of plot. Second, a short story's conciseness is another important quality. Long and superfluous descriptions are avoided. The short story's language should be used with precision and rigor by the author. The short story's conversations are essential to the plot and are straightforward and succinct. They are quite perceptive; even with little descriptions, readers may learn a lot about the individuals. Here, lengthy lectures and discussions are avoided. The right setting is one of the most amazing aspects of short stories. The story's setting could be depressing, tragic, uplifting, decent, scary, tense, humorous, etc. When we read Ruskin Bond's Face in the Dark, for instance, we are always excited when the narrative finishes, but we are also constantly afraid and surprised. The story's setting is a horror story, but the other story, The Train Stops at Shamli, has a romantic tone.
