The final words of the story reveal the boy’s epiphany (sudden realization of the truth): “Gazing up into the darkness I saw myself as a creature driven and derided by vanity, and my eyes burned with anguish and anger.”  How do these words function as the story’s conclusion?  What do you think about these words?  How do they make you feel?  Why?
