In âThe Locketâ, a confederate soldier declines his fellow soldiersâ request to reveal the contents of the locket around his neck. The locket, which holds pictures of his fiancĂ©eâs parents and the date of their wedding is found on the battlefield after a battle. Later, the soldierâs fiancĂ©e visits the battlefield with the soldierâs father, both shaken with grief. The soldierâs father asks his sonâs fiancĂ©e to remove her veil, as it contrasts too sharply with the beautiful day and adds that on such a day miracles seem ready to happen. Returning home, something extraordinary happens to make her believe he may be right.
