The 19th Century American Art described Naturalism as

The nineteenth Century American Art described existentness as invigoration imitating nature and the artists of this period began focusing on real life situations. Naturalism literature began to flourish after the civil war and after the near loved Ro gayticism and Victorian literature. Naturalism focuses on the lower to pose class man in which he is a futile variety of a domineering universe of a hostile nature. Some frame of struggling for the fittest and the strong and predestined atomic number 18 the scarce sure winner.The Ambrose Bierce fabrication at Owl Creek pair is told by a troika party narrator. For a simple reason that a man who is unawares can non narrate his own demise? It says nonhing more of a man named Peyton Fahrquhar, a planter from a respected Alabama family the author fifty-fifty distinguishes him as a gentleman which befits his physical appearance. Despite of the mans description, the psyche in the story seemed to die a futile death giving stres s on the character of naturalism to which man is small-time as quoted by the narrator at a lower placehe . . original secessionist wedded to the Southern cause. Circumstances of an imperious nature, which it is unnecessary to relate here, had . . . .army which had fought the disastrous campaigns (Bierce, 2004)Cynical, questioning or mocking characteristics is vividly present along these lines,To be hanged and drowned, he thought, that is not so bad but I do not wish to be shot. No .. not be shot that is not fair.(Bierce, 2004)The story dealt more on the agonizing death of a somebody but it was more descriptive than sentimental. It is an unwanted way of dying and up to now there is no reason to stop it.The entire theme below is focused on someone who has experienced a few moments of life before death and another few moments after dying. His soul seemed to see and in a way could not even tell he is really dead. The story of the life of Peyton is a trample by step narrative ab out the ironies of violent death, as if a man could note of his own dying which can be paraphrasedTo die of hanging at the bottom of a river the idea seemed to him ludicrous. He opened his centers in the darkness above him a gleam of light, but how inaccessible He was still sinking, for the light became fainter .mere glimmer.(Bierce, 2004)His neck ached horribly his brain was on fire, his heart, speed faintly, gave a great leap, trying to force itself out at his mouth. His unit of measurement body was wrenched with an insupportable anguish (Bierce) 2004.The two lines below were skillfully displace by the author and I must say that he has like an expert given the most significant characteristic to the story by define life and imitating nature. He uses the forest and trees, even the detail of a alternate and those that inhabits itincluding the morning dewdrops. He described nature just as he describes a new life that is to be unfolding.the forest on the rely of the stream trees, the leave ,, veining of each leaf he saw the very insects noted the prismatic colors in all the dewdrops million blades of grass. The gnats that danced..the eddies . . . the thrashing of the dragon flies wings, the strokes water spiders legs, like oars which had lifted their boat all these make audible music.(Bierce)2004.A fish slid along beneath his eyes and he heard the rush of its body parting the water.(Bierce) 2004.This brief sentence above almost completed the story the author wanted to conclude, that death has receive and the heavens could be so near. As if describing that the soul came out from the eye and it moves thru the waters. Bierce in his few words was able to describe a real life situation which is one of the most interesting characteristic of a naturalistic piece ply. That after life naturally comes death.Peyton Fahrquhar was dead his body, with a upset neck, swung gently from side beneath the timbers of the Owl Creek bridge.(Bierce) 2004.Though th e whole work is a literary genius, it leaves a mark of pessimism on the part of the reader. Pessimism in the sense that the character of the story was never given a chance. He was doomed simply because of a circumstance that is beyond the control of the person being told. There was no hope but a conceive of or it could be real that the characters soul transcended only to be able to look for his love ones. Even in this slam we can see that there is a big division. There is liking to be with someone and yet the story emphasizes more on losing. The no-count part of it is for an observer to have an impression that not all prayers are answered and an urgent question that need to be asked where is God why did he allowed such fate?REFEENCESBierce, 2004 A.
