¡°DAVID SWAN¡± is another short story by Nathaniel Hawthorne, also published in his collection ¡°Twice-Told Tales¡± in 1835.
The story tells the story of a series of events that a young man named David Swan experiences while taking a nap on his way to Boston.
While David takes a nap, many people pass by him. A wealthy old couple tries to wake him up and adopt him as their adopted son, but after hesitating, they just pass by. A girl almost falls in love with him after chasing away a bee that lands on his eyelids, but it passes by too. The robbers aim for his belongings, but run away because of a passing dog.
Despite these fateful encounters and dangers hovering around David, he does not wake up and continues to sleep. And when he wakes up, he boards a stagecoach bound for Boston, completely unaware of what was about to happen to him.
The author metaphorically shows that the numerous accidental events and 'almost happenings' we experience in life are in fact controlled by providence. This contains a deep reflection that even though unpredictable events constantly occur in life, a certain degree of regularity exists, allowing us to predict the future.
Summary
We can be but partially acquainted even with the events which actually influence our course through life and our final destiny. There are innumerable other events, if such they may be called, which come close upon us, yet pass away without actual results or even betraying their near approach by the reflection of any light or shadow across our minds. Could we know all the vicissitudes of our fortunes, life would be too full of hope and fear, exultation or disappointment, to afford us a single hour of true serenity. This idea may be illustrated by a page from the secret history of David Swan.
