Walter's wife, known in the story as "Mrs. Mitty," treats Walter like an absent-minded child. She is overbearing, condescending, and critical towards Walter. But she is also Walter's link to the real world. While Walter is off in his own imagination, it is his wife or other people who bring him back to reality. This relationship of Walter's imagination (his escape from reality) and his wife's nagging (in efforts to bring him back to reality) is an uncertain "chicken and the egg" situation. We, readers, don't know if Walter's imagination is what caused his wife to become the practical, reality-based wife that she is or if Walter uses his imagination as an escape from his overbearing wife. Even if we knew which came first (Walter being absent-minded or his wife being condescending), it is just as likely that over the course of their marriage, Walter's and his wife's behaviors fed off of each other; and therefore, who started the whole cycle is somewhat irrelevant.
At the end of the story, when Mrs. Mitty returns from her appointment, Walter says, "Things close in." This is noted as a vague statement but could be interpreted to illustrate how Walter feels about the real world. He feels trapped and therefore resorts to fantasies in order to escape from that trapped feeling. One could sympathize with Mrs. Mitty, knowing that Walter is always absent-minded to the point of being careless. On the other hand, one could sympathize with Walter. Even when Walter tells her he was thinking, a valid excuse, she dismisses it as a fever:
"I was thinking," said Walter Mitty. "Does it ever occur to you that I am sometimes thinking?" She looked at him. "I'm going to take your temperature when I get you home," she said.
My best guess would be A. B is the second best answer. C and D don't seem to be very good answers. How many attempts do you have at this question?
<em><u>Answer:</u></em>
- They illustrate the changing role in women history.
<em><u>Explanation:</u></em>
William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream shows different resolute ladies whom were limited by society. In spite of these limiting conditions these decided females battled for what they really wanted.
Despite seemingly insurmountable opposition they stood firm and stood firm for the sake of genuine love.
Well I won't write the essay for you but here's what i'll do,
Frankenstein is a novel filled with prejudice. He hopes for friendship with the blind father because he knows that if the blind man could see he would be horrified and be scared of Frankenstein, which would lead to Frankenstein having no friends and being lonely. People judge Frankenstein on his looks, which then label him as a monster. It's the reason why he lashes out at times and is forever angry at everyone because they treat him like the monster he looks like, but not necessarily he acts like a monster. Frankenstein just wants to be treated normal, he wants to have friends and be happy with the way he looks. This theme is relevant to society today because people are often changing the way they look, or wishing they looked another way because people will judge them based on how they look. People self harm, lash out, similiar to what Frankenstein does, and they are treated differently because of how they look.
Something along the lines of that. You can expand the topics as how you see fit. Hope that helps you, comment if you need help with this more. :)
