Structure
?
Theme
The idea of
racism
is a theme in the story, for the implication of the husband’s
racism is
what causes the couple to quarrel.
The wife dislikes her husband’s beliefs
that African Americans are different from
whites.
He
maintains
that
it
is
not
that
he
is
prejudiced
against
African
Americans, but that they come from a
different culture and they even have their
own language. The husband’s negative
response to Ann’s question of whether he
would
marry
her
were
she
African
American
indicates
the
pervasive
and
destructive
nature of his racism.
This story is a
revelation of
subtle
expression of racial prejudice.
Subtle: sensitive/
delicate
?
An analysis of the husband
The
husband in the story is generally an unsympathetic
character.
He appears to have
racist feelings and seems to be dishonest with
himself.
He claims to
appreciate the stability
of his life with Ann provides him, but he
still makes
efforts to undermine it.
He
refuses to take responsibility for his actions.
Throughout
the
evening,
he
is
seen
to
be
less
than
a
genuine
person;
he
does
things for effect rather
than out of a genuine, sincere desire. Within the
confines
of the story, his most
significant trait is his rejection of his wife,
which she takes
备
注
1
quite
seriously, much to his surprise.
By
the
end
of
the
story,
the
husband
demonstrates
yet
another
shift
in
mood:
excitement as he realizes that, in
certain ways, his wife is unknowable to him.
The final scene has him awaiting his
wife in their darkened bedroom, imagining
that she is a stranger that he seems to
embrace, as demonstrated by the excited
pounding of his heart.
1)appearance:
considerate:
pitch in on the housework,
come to the aid out of concern,
ask to complete the dish-washing
2) innermost being:
hypocritical
He is excited by
her anger to challenge her.
His concern
for her is for her appreciation.
Send
her away to stop the conversation as he is tired
of it.
He felt ashamed that he had let
his wife get him into the fight.
He knew that he had to come up with the
right answer
…
but, in fact, he did not
realize his mistake.
?
“
They don
’
t come from the same culture
”
As
racial
discrimination
based
on
color
differences
is
now
totally
discredited,
today many people try to justify their
prejudices by cultural differences.
