In Saki's short story "The Mappined Life," the narrative unfolds through a conversation between Mrs. James Gurtleberry and her niece, who reflect on the nature of existence and the illusion of freedom within societal constraints. The story is set against the backdrop of the Mappin Terraces at the Zoological Gardens, which symbolize a façade of natural living for both animals and humans.
