The Birds by Daphne du Maurier (Book Analysis)
Résumé
This engaging summary presents an analysis of “The Birds” by Daphne du Maurier, which centres on Nat Hocken, a farmhand and ex-soldier whose life is turned upside-down one night when a flock of birds begins attacking his family’s house. Although no one else seems to pay his warnings any heed, it soon becomes clear that this is no imagined threat: the birds’ sudden aggression is not an isolated incident, and attacks begin to occur around the country, with no apparent motivation other than an echo of the turning of the tides. The tension continues to grow throughout the story, as Nat does his best to gather supplies and protect his family, even as his hopes of survival begin to dwindle… “The Birds” is one of Daphne du Maurier’s best-known short stories, and is regarded as a cult classic of the horror genre.
