Reading for Pleasure: Hop-Frog

Hop-Frog

This short story is based on revenge because when the jester and the dwarf kill the king and his men it is out of pure vengeance. The narrator is criticizing the characters by always telling them about mistakes and everything wrong with them and how they are bad people. My favorite quote is, "ah, ha, I begin to see who these people are, now!" That is my favorite quote because in the face of death you see who people really are. In the hop-frog the king and his men told the jester and the dwarf how terrible they are and it turns out that they are just as terrible.
