The correct answer is the second statement. In the "The
Interlopers" by Saki (Hector Hugh Munro) the setting contributes to the
theme of the story by showing that nature is unconcerned with human desires. In
this short story Georg and Ulrich are continuing three years long dispute about
the forest. The setting of the story is very important because the forest on
the border of their lands doesn’t really has value, but represent their greed
and yearning for dominance over one another. The forest on the night of the
final dispute is described as a dreary place in which cries for help are only
heard by wolves. This shows that nature is unforgiving and indifferent to man’s
concerns (dispute over land).
