Rosy’s father Mr. Riddle;


Jim’s friend Pilkins, a night clerk at a chemist.

The actions took place in the pharmacy and in

the pharmacy and in Rosy’s house.

The actions lasted during two days.

Слайд 10 “The Love Drug” is a

“The Love Drug” is a short story. It is

short story. It is well – written and easy

to read.
The story has a simple plot. In the beginning of the story the author wrote that Jim, a young car – driver, was in love with Rosy. Rosy was in love with him, but her father disliked Jim.


Слайд 11 The explosion in this story

The explosion in this story was when Jim came

was when Jim came to his friend Pilkins and

asked him to help. Jim said, that they decided to run away and get married that night. But Rosy doubted whether they should do it. And Jim was afraid that she changes her mind. Pilkins offered to pour a powder to her and then they can escape.


Слайд 12 The culmination moment was

The culmination moment was when Jim had gone, Pilkins,

when Jim had gone, Pilkins, who was in love

with Rosy too, immediately went to Mr. Riddle and told the old man that Jim and Rosy were going to run away that night. Rosy’s father was very angry and was going to kill Jim after supper.

much when Jim said that they were married last night.

the supper he looked at Rosy and decided that

he mustn’t do it with her and put the powder in old Riddle’s coffee.

O. Henry used not many stylistic devices.  A

stylistic devices.
A hyperbole “I have

to pay for it even if it costs all the money I have” shows us that Jim will do everything only his love was near him.


Слайд 16 The most bright moment

The most bright moment for me is “- Lord!

for me is “- Lord! I am the luckiest

man…. I looked at Rosy and said to myself, “Don’t play any tricks on that girl. She loves you, that’s clear enough.” Then I looked at her father and thought ‘There’s the man you should take care of. So I watched for my chance and put the powder in old Riddle’s coffee – see?”

Слайд 17 I liked this story very

I liked this story very much. O. Henry’s stories

much. O. Henry’s stories are always absorbing and exciting.

There is always surprising end in his stories. The author touched upon the problem of friendship in this story. Pilkins, Jim’s friend, betrayed him. Betrayal for love, whether it is good. I think not. I believe that friends are to help to each other in difficult times. If a person has betrayed you, then it can’t be considered a friend. Even if it was a betrayal for the sake of love. But the most important thing in this story is that even treachery couldn’t stop loving people to be together. Love overcomes all barriers. And it is most important.
