The Wedding-Knell is a short story by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Nathaniel Hawthorne (born Nathaniel Hathorne; July 4, 1804 – May 19, 1864) was an American novelist and short story writer. He was born in 1804 in Salem, Massachusetts to Nathaniel Hathorne and the former Elizabeth Clarke Manning. His ancestors include John Hathorne, the only judge involved in the Salem witch trials who never repented of his actions.

Hawthorne published his first work, a novel titled Fanshawe, in 1828; he later tried to suppress it, feeling it was not equal to the standard of his later work. He published several short stories in various periodicals which he collected in 1837 as Twice-Told Tales.

In this story, Hawthorne brings in 6-8 inch high pygmies as a foil to the cyclops-giant Antaeus. Antaeus is the son of Mother Earth and a hateful creature to all but his friends, the pygmies, whose chief enemy is the crane. The pygmies see another giant approaching who though smaller than Antaeus looks fierce. They try to warn Antaeus, but he wants to nap. To motivate the giant, the pygmies sting his pride, so he stands up, holding a pinetree as a club to face the newcomer. He roars a request for the stranger to identify himself.
