In turn, once citizens are able to see their first eclipse, none can take the experience (and go mad as a result). To explain, as his main purpose is to establish the ease at which people lose themselves once shown a foreign situation, he creates a civilization that has never been covered in darkness. Therefore, despite its shortness in length, Asimov is able to structure his points skillfully. For one, its premise speaks to readers with caution, as it demonstrates our stubbornness and our outright rejection to believe what we cannot see, and so when an outcome occurs the consequences are far more severe. “Nightfall,” regardless of its age, has certain themes that are quite relatable. Though each narrative is a classic in its own right, I’ve picked out a few that stood out so that I may write a short explanation and/or analysis. Nightfall and Other Stories is a collection of works written and compiled by Isaac Asimov, who was considered a major science fiction writer in the 1900s.
