Henry's most famous short stories. In this paper I will have a closer look at the short story 'The Gift of the Magi' by O. Henry. I will start by analyzing the major themes love, sacrifice and wisdom. Furthermore, I will also have a look at the ending of the story, which is an example of the so-called 'O. Henry twist'.
