"A Personal Problem" by H. Bedford-Jones is a short story written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around the intense personal rivalry and dark past between two men, Cranshaw and Hobson, who find themselves in a tense and revealing situation in a bungalow on the island of Raratonga. The story delves into themes of betrayal, revenge, and the psychological torment of characters haunted by their choices. The plot unfolds as Hobson unexpectedly visits Cranshaw, unaware of the latter's hidden resentments and plans for revenge stemming from their tumultuous history. As the night progresses, Cranshaw reveals his bitterness towards Hobson, who wronged him by taking his position and marrying the woman he loved. The atmosphere thickens with a sense of dread and horror as Hobson's fear of the island's creatures becomes a chilling metaphor for his own entrapment. Ultimately, Cranshaw coldly leaves Hobson to confront his fears alone, laying bare the consequences of their past actions while sealing his own fate tied to a sinister plan for revenge.
