From Hustler to Housewife

"Calixta was preparing supper. She had set the table and was dripping coffee at the hearth. She sprang up as they came in"

This quote in significant because it plays into the role of women in the time period this story as well as the story The Revolt of "Mother". In during this time women were inferior to men they were left home and their sole purpose was to take care of the house and children. They were not able to work outside the home and own land. This quote shows how even after a revolt such as an affair the women return to that of what they have always done take care of the men. This is shown by how the women after cheating on her husband a "revolt" still prepares him dinner and waits for him to return home to eat.

Impress to Regress

Towards the beginning of the story "The real Thing" the Narrator has a upbeat personality being very impressed by the lifestyle and the way the Monarchs dressed and the way they looked. Over time throughout the story this view changes, at the beginning of the story he can see that the upper class Monarchs although older are very good looking people and would make very good models compared to that of the models he had from the lower class. He was very wrong though he found that those in the lower class were more opted to do things due to there lack of prior experience with the luxurious of life. After using these models he see's his work directly effected but them causing his workmanship to go down. After seeing the fall of people he once held to high standards he was grateful for the way in which he lived. He finishes the story with "If it be true I am content to have paid the price-- for the memory" because the Monarchs show him how it is too completely fall to the lowest possible place and still try to do anything they can to be successful and support each other.

He who they call Hawthorne

As the vivid reader as well as writer that I am I sometimes venture into other authors pieces of work. While on one of these ventures of mine I came across a writer that goes by the name Hawthorne. Although both Hawthorne are similar writers in how we both are very dark writers our style and thoughts are very different, and i hope to never be considered like him. He in style writes about how in life humanity is always imperfect. He also includes in his stories the need for morality and is very didactic in his writing. While I do not dislike his writings the difference between our writings should be easy to see for any interpretive reader.

Hating on Poe

- Hawthorne if I look to much on the Interior of a person why must you feel you must always change the world with your little moral in each story. Really what is the moral in your story The Birth-Mark don't be a pinhead and kill your wife because of one perfection, thats not a moral but merely just common sense. Your writings such as this make me truly question the depth of your intellectual ability.
