Symbolism is a big factor in making short stories confusing. When a story is filled with complex symbols that are not easily understood, it can be really puzzling. Take 'The Great Gatsby' for example. The green light at the end of Daisy's dock is a symbol that has multiple layers of meaning related to dreams, hope, and the unattainable. In short stories, if there are too many such symbols without clear explanations, readers can get lost. Another aspect is when the theme is very abstract. Stories that deal with concepts like existentialism or the nature of consciousness, like some works of Kafka, are often difficult to fully comprehend.
The Apotheosis was an ancient Chinese novel in which the male protagonist did not end up with anyone because the plot of the story was more complicated. Many characters and story lines were intertwined.
The Apotheosized Chronicle told the story of the war between the Shang and Zhou dynasties at the end of the Zhou Dynasty and the story of King Wen's son, King Wu of Zhou, Ji Fa, attacking the Shang Dynasty. Among them, many heroes such as Jiang Shang, Jiang Ziya, King Wen, and King Wu played an important role in this war.
There were many complicated character relationships and storylines in the Apotheosized Era, so there was no definite answer as to who the male lead would end up with. However, there were some characters in the novel who had more exciting endings, such as King Wu of Zhou, Ji Fa, and Jiang Shang's son, King Zhou of Shang, Daji.
I would say 'Drakengard. The game has a very complex and often dark story that involves multiple endings, and each ending branches out into different scenarios. The relationships between the characters are intricate and not always clearly defined, making it a very confusing story to follow.
Another one is 'Nier: Automata'. It has a multi - layered story that involves different perspectives from the androids and machines. There are time loops, philosophical concepts, and a lot of unanswered questions about the true nature of the world and the purpose of the characters. It can be quite a head - scratcher.
Well, 'The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas' by Ursula K. Le Guin is among the most confusing. It presents a utopian - like city of Omelas, but with a dark secret at its core. The story challenges readers to think about the price of happiness and the morality of a society that depends on the suffering of one individual. Additionally, 'Bartleby, the Scrivener' by Herman Melville is puzzling. Bartleby's repeated response of 'I would prefer not to' is open to multiple interpretations regarding human agency, alienation, and the meaning of work.
Middle-aged people usually faced many different kinds of confusion and challenges. Here are some questions that might be confusing:
1. Balance between career and family: As people grow older, their careers may become busier and family responsibilities may become more important. This could lead to problems in the balance between career and family.
2. Health problems: As they grow older, many people may face health problems, which may affect their lives and moods.
Interpersonal relationships: When a person reaches middle age, they may face many interpersonal problems such as family relationships, friends, and so on. These questions may be confusing, but they can also be the motivation to build healthy relationships.
Personal growth: As people grow older, many people may feel the need to constantly learn and grow to remain competitive and attractive.
Financial problems: As people get older, many people may face financial problems such as retirement plans, children's education, etc. These questions may be confusing, but they can also be a motivation to solve financial problems.
Middle-aged people may face many different confusions and challenges, but by actively facing these problems, we can find ways to live a healthier, more balanced and fulfilling life.
One confusing fiction book could be 'Finnegans Wake' by James Joyce. It's confusing because of its complex language, stream - of - consciousness style, and the numerous allusions it makes to various mythologies, languages, and historical events. The words seem to blend together in a way that makes it difficult to follow a traditional narrative.
There are some things in the novel "In the Ordinary World" that I find puzzling or strange. Here are some of them:
Why did the protagonist, Wang Dachui, suddenly gain the ability to control time and space? How did he do it?
Wang Dachui and his family were in danger of dying of thirst and starvation in the desert, but they did not use any modern technology or communication devices to seek help.
3. Wang Dachui and his family lived in a small village during the Yellow Turban uprising, but they were not persecuted by the Yellow Turban army. On the contrary, they became allies of the Yellow Turban Army. What was going on?
4. Wang Dachui experienced many setbacks and difficulties in life in the story, but he was able to overcome them in the end. Why?
These questions made me feel very confused because the plot and character setting of " In an Ordinary World " were not the same as those in traditional wuxia novels. I tried to understand these questions, but in the end, I couldn't find the answer.
There are several factors. Maybe the author's style of storytelling is not straightforward. Or there could be too much going on in each panel without clear focus. Another possibility is that the comic assumes the reader has prior knowledge of the genre or universe it's set in.
