Abstract: OHenry has secured his irreplaceable place in the history of American literature through his talented writing techniques and unique perspectives. By using an unbelievable economy of language, witty narration and humorous expressions, OHenry's novels always present readers with the beauty and glory of human nature and the helplessness of poor people who live at the very bottom of the society. OHenry is extremely skillful at trapping his audience into surprise endings without any traceable forewarnings. In this paper, through interpreting and appreciating O. Henry's Witches' Loaves and The Love-Philtre Of Ikey Schoenstein, the authors attempt to explore some similar aspects of these two stories concerning the portrayal of characters, the detailed description, and the psychological depiction in a surprise ending.
