The story says:-
If Mrs. De Ropp was an Anabaptist, Conradin would have known what an Anabaptist was. Anthony Appleyard 07:41, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Obviously Mrs. DeRopp was not an Anabaptist. However, the hen being an Anabaptist reflects that it represents redemption in adulthood. When Mrs. DeRopp takes the hen from Conradin she loses her chance for redemption.
The band Faith and the Muse made a song called Srendi Vashtar on their album The Burning Season, if it matters at all.
How is Conradin's form of worship in any way related to Hinduism -- Nastymunky 23:02, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
john ballard directed a film version of the story called,"the orphan." it was released in nineteen seventy nine.
Could this story have been very loosely inspired by Kipling's story Rikki-Tikki-Tavi? Also, we only see Mrs. De Ropp through Conradin's eyes, in reality was she all that bad? PatGallacher ( talk) 19:01, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
Why do Wikipedians think this is a "horror story" under the scope of WikiProject Horror? I honestly can't find any horror in it. The story isn't usually collected in horror anthologies. Sure, there is a violent death (off screen), but that's hardly indicative of horror in general. Conradin isn't horrified but quite pleased that Mrs. de Ropp is finally gone. The reader is not supposed to find her death horrifying either, but is meant to feel relieved for the little boy's sake. Saki wrote very much in the style of Oscar Wilde -- and not precisely The Canterville Ghost in this case! (Not that, oddly enough, The Canterville Ghost is categorized as horror in Wikipedia, in any case) The andf ( talk) 05:24, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
