Roman Fever Edith Wharton
1,242 wordsInterpreting Edith Wharton's "Roman Fever" Definitive criteria for judging the success or failure of a work of fiction are not easily agreed upon; individuals almost necessarily introduce bias into any such attempt. Only those who affect an exorbitantly refined artistic taste, however, would deny the importance of poignancy in literary pieces. To be sure, writings of dubious and fleeting merit frequently enchant the public, but there is too the occasional author who garners widespread acclaim an...

Magill Frank N Englewood Cliffs

Through the narrative eyes of Newland Archer, the reader sees a woman like no other woman (102). Ellen Olenska is much like Hawthorne's Hester Prynne in the way she exhibits courage and strength. As an outcast of a hypocritical society, Ellen is worthy of the yellow roses that seem too rich, too stro...

House Of Mirth Birth Of A Nation
1,452 wordsThe views of women in D. W.

But every woman has her own life and every life is different. Every woman is different in her character thus in her yearnings and in her attitude to life. I wish to examine in this essay three women and three attitudes to life. D. W. Griffi...

Ethan And Mattie Ethan Frome
3,245 wordsThe Vilification of Women in The Great Gatsby and Ethan Frome Women have played an important role in American literature. Unfortunately, this role was often negative, without cause to be so. Edith Wharton's Ethan Frome and F. Scott Fitzgeralds The Great Gatsby are examples of American literature in which women are needlessly vilified. In The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald presents three women in an especially bad light. Daisy Fay Buchanan, the narrators cousin, is the most obvious. Daisy is selfish an...

Upper Class Society Edith Wharton
797 wordsRoman Fever is an outstanding example of Edith Wharton's theme to express the subtle nuances of formal upper class society that cause change underneath the pretense of stability. Wharton studied what actually made their common society tick, paying attention to unspoken signals, the histories of relationships, and seemingly coincidental parallels. All of these factors contribute to the strength and validity of the story of Mrs. Slade and Mrs. Ansley. Roman Fever at first strikes the reader as the...
