Think about this. You’re a dad and your wife has your 13th kid, but you don’t have a godfather. When god comes you say no to him. When the devil comes you do the same. But when death comes he is the sons godfather. That is what happens in “Godfather death.” The mode of literature and character make the short story exciting.
This short story is a Irony, because the short story is a nightmare version of reality. It starts with world is in chaos: The father just had his 13th child and he needs a godfather. After that there is Main Character struggles for life or sanity: The 13th kids godfather is death, and when he becomes a doctor death tells him if they are going to die or not. Last it is death or insanity: the doctor dies, because he cheated death and saved the people that death wanted to be his. The short story is unrealistic, because the devil, god, and death does not just go to you and ask you if they could be their godfather. It is a nightmare version of reality, because it would be scary to have death come to your bed if you are at a hospital.
The characters in the story do not appear in real life. All of the characters are the doctor, death, god, and the devil. There are two Main characters in this short story, they are the doctor and death. The doctor is the 13th kid and saves lives and cheats death. Death is the other main character, he is the doctors godfather and he kills his godson. When the doctors cheats him he drops his candle that shows how long he is going to live and the doctor dies immediately. Devil and God both tried to be the god father of the 13th kid, but the father denies both of them. But if the father chosen eather god or the devil the doctor would not be the doctor or he maybe not be dead.
"Godfather death" is a great ironic story with mythical creatures. The doctor fell in love with the kings daughter but instead of her being dead he wanted to save her because of her beauty. But instead of living he died of disobeying an order from his godfather death. So if you have a godfather that is someone that can control you living or not obey his order or you might die.
