Answer 1

Answer:

Ulrich and Georg Znaeym are the two explorers who went to forest to explore the land. When they move into deep into the forest they miss the way and both of them are lost. They start losing control over themselves and fear overcomes their confidence. They feel frightened in the dark and suddenly Ulrich sees something in the dark. These were wolves but they did not knew who they were. The climax is not really clear and the author leaves it to the reader to imagine the climax their own way.

Explanation:

The interlopers is written by Saki in 1919. This is a short story whose plot revolves around travelers who are lost in Forest. The author has not ended the story with a clear climax. The ending is left for the readers to imagine the way they want it to end. This is usually a strategy of the authors to indulge the audience and readers into the story.
