Abstract

Questions constitute the first way in to fiction—questions about Katherine Anne Porter’s short story “Rope.” Those questions focus on details of description and dialogue; character and action; repetition and contrast; cause and effect; theme and idea. A consideration of values is central to the discussion. A brief commentary is also provided for the story.
