In Section III of “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge,” Bierce’s precise word choice brings to life the D. peaceful nature of Farquhar’s death.
As Farquhar faces death, he slips not only outside time but also outside his physical body. He is reduced to a network of raw, inaccurate sensory impressions, which allow him to create his fantasy of escape. Farquhar’s distorted sensory impressions reveal the widening gap between reality and illusion.
