''The End'' (original Spanish title: ''El fin'') is a short story by Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges, first published in ''La Nación'' in 1953. It was included in the 1956 edition of ''Ficciones'', part two (''Artifices''). ==Plot summary== "The End" is a response to the Argentine epic ''Martín Fierro'', which Borges had discussed in a long essay published earlier that year.〔Jorges Luis Borges. ''El Martín Fierro.'' Columba, Buenos Aires, 1953.〕 In the story, a man who presumably has had a crippling stroke winds up half seeing and half hearing a definitive fight between a "negro" who has been dwelling in the man's store and a mysterious stranger which the negro had been waiting for. The story ends ambiguously and leaves the readers with a question which only they can answer: does Fierro succeed in leaving his violent past behind him, or has he rather come to fully embrace his true nature? Literary scholars debate on the interpretation that Fierro is a Christ-like figure. He himself has faced a myriad of trials and tribulations, and now has to face them.
