Question

In Ray Bradbury’s “ last night of the world" what did the man mean by "it just didn't work out?

Answer 1

Answer:

the story makes clear that the end of the world isn't about guilt or innocence, deserving or not deserving. As the husband explains, "things just didn't work out." Even when the wife says, "Nothing else but this could have happened from the way we've lived," there's no feeling of regret or guilt.
