The play is told in a form so that the only person that changes his or her role is the narrator, who changes throughout in order to create the idea that the main characters are somehow cut off from the outside world at that they are unable to escape that. The Narrator follows the plot and is there from the first page to the last, almost like some deadly ethereal spectre, and he represents the devil that he often talks about.

In his confusion Mickey shoots Eddie. Eddie dies wearing the locket. Mickey is gunned down by policemen. So in a way Mrs Lyons improvised superstition, (if you tell twins secretly parted the truth they will both die) comes true in the most terrible way.
