The Other Side of the Story

As they continue to walk around the place, the narrator sees Eliza Dimbleby, and this surprises him because he knows she is due to give a lecture that evening. He then finds his watch has stopped. The old man tells him that people often meet others they knew from the road in this place and are astonished to see familiar faces. The story is a highly symbolic one in which a man walking along a road stops for a rest, goes through a hedge, and finds himself in a strange world where nothing leads anywhere. Before we offer an analysis of the story’s meaning and symbolism, here’s a brief summary of what happens in it.

The Other Side of the Hedge’ has the force of an allegory, and it’s clear that everything in the story is symbolic rather than literal. The road down which the narrator walks is life, whose monotony is occasionally challenging, but the alternative is to stop and ‘rest’ (i.e., die) and give up life forever. When he leaves the road and goes through the hedge, he dies, returning to the Edenic world of humanity before life and ‘the road’ existed. However, the road also symbolises a particular view of life, which is predicated on progress, improvement, and development: especially scientific and technological development (hence the pedometer). A man appears with a scythe over his shoulder, and the narrator grabs this man’s drinks can and drinks from it gladly. He then sees the old man close the gate and tell him that this is where his road ends. The story concludes with the narrator falling asleep, and, as he drifts off, recognising the man with the scythe as his own brother who had left the road a year or so ago.Gemma used to be Lily's best friend until Lily ran off with Anton.
