What is a list of the indoor scenes in the basically outdoor story "Hunters in the Snow"?

While this is a story about an outdoor sport, two of the brief indoor scenes are very pivotal. There are basically four indoor scenes:


  1. The farmhouse

  2. The bar

  3. The truckstop diner

  4. The truck cab, though, with the snow blowing through the broken window, this could also be considered outdoor.

The first pivotal scene occurs when Frank and Tub ask the farmer for a phone and directions to a hospital. Here they learn that Kenny killed...

While this is a story about an outdoor sport, two of the brief indoor scenes are very pivotal. There are basically four indoor scenes:


  1. The farmhouse

  2. The bar

  3. The truckstop diner

  4. The truck cab, though, with the snow blowing through the broken window, this could also be considered outdoor.

The first pivotal scene occurs when Frank and Tub ask the farmer for a phone and directions to a hospital. Here they learn that Kenny killed the dog not out of meanness or spite, but as a favor to the heartbroken couple. We realize that Kenny, more than likely, was not going to shoot Tub, but was rather pulling another poorly thought-out prank.


The next pivotal scene occurs when Frank and Tub stop their journey to the hospital in order to warm up. At the diner, Tub admits to his problem with binge-eating. Frank decides to feed him pancakes as a show of friendship and solidarity. Not only is this gesture damaging to Tub's health, it is also damaging to Kenny's health as he is freezing and bleeding in the bed of the truck.


Both of these scenes, while differing from the generally outdoor setting, provide additional insight into the characters.

Macbeth is beginning to realize that the three witches have been deceiving him since he first encountered them. Like jugglers, they have kept changing their forecasts in order create confusion. This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV,   Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a... Macbeth is beginning to realize that the three witches have been deceiving him since he first encountered them. Like jugglers, they have kept changing their forecasts in order create confusion. This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV,   Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a sense of guilt, and that man tells him: Despair thy charm. And let the angel whom thou still hast serve...

Why did Tybalt attack and kill Mercutio instead of Romeo, who he had originally been targeting?

Though Tybalt's quarrel is with Romeo, he begins the momentous duel in Act 3 by fighting with and killing Mercutio instead. Tybalt ultimately attacks Mercutio because the garrulous and hot-headed character insults Tybalt and goads him into a duel to protect Romeo's honor. From the beginning of the encounter in Act 3, Scene 1, it's clear that Mercutio is itching for a fight. For instance, when Tybalt signals that he wants to talk to Mercutio...
