... Compare and Contrast the intended Crimes, Victims and Villains in the short stories "A Terribly Strange Bed" By Wilkie Colins (1856) and "The Landlady" By Roald Dahl (1960) A 'Short Story' is a Narrative Prose that is shorter than a novel and usually not more than 15,000 words in length. The 'Short Story' is one of the oldest and most natural forms of Prose fiction. Edgar Allan Poe first formally defined the short story in 1842. A short story has different characteristics such as, it can be read or told on a single occasion, has only one main event and only a few main characters. The most well known type of short story is the fairytale. In the essay I will compare two short stories in a number of ways. I will compare the victims in each story, the crime committed in each story, the villains committing the crime and concluding my overall opinions.
