| Summary | "Last Words" by Stephen Crane is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The stories within this collection range widely in themes and settings, including tales of war, personal conflict, and observations of human nature, showcasing Crane's characteristic lyrical style and psychological depth. The opening of "Last Words" introduces readers to two characters at the beach, engaging in a humorous and somewhat juvenile critique of one another's physical appearances as they prepare to go swimming. The freckled man expresses a sense of vanity and self-consciousness about his looks, prompting a spirited back-and-forth with his taller companion. The dialogue captures their contrasting personalities, with the freckled man attempting to assert himself despite the tall man's blunt honesty. This dynamic serves as a gentle exploration of friendship, embarrassment, and the human condition, setting the stage for more introspective and dramatic themes to emerge later in the collection.
