After reading the short story Gryphon, I was left with the impression that this was one of the most puzzling stories I had ever read. Overall, I did not enjoy reading this story at all.
The story takes place in a rural town in Michigan during modern times. I did not understand the purpose of the eccentric teacher, Ms. Ferenczi. Obviously what she was teaching was incorrect. George Washington was in no way Egyptian. Diamonds are not magical. Death does exist. Based on her stories, I have come to believe that she was a little insane. I could not find any symbolism or theme of any kind. There were however, instances of foreshadowing and other literary techniques such as similes.
