Even though “Ethan
Frome”, novel by Edith Wharton, was written over a hundred year ago, it is
still widely read today because the theme of the story is world-wide and
all-time relevant. This universality of the theme, representing the society and
morality as an obstacle to fulfill desires (in this case love), makes “Ethan
Frome” relevant a hundred years after and it would probably still be relevant
in future, as it’s close to every human’s heart.
Both “Romeo and Juliet”
by William Shakespeare and “Ethan Frome” by Edith Wharton deal with the problem
of society and morality as an obstacle to fulfill certain desires, which is in
both cases forbidden love. Considering the theme, both “Romeo and Juliet” and “Ethan
Frome” have the same tragic tone, but the ends show how different and twisted destiny
can be.
<span>The love story of Ethan
Frome and Mattie is still relevant today, after a hundred years, and probably
will stay relevant in future as the theme of the story is on universal level of
human struggle with feelings, social norms and morality. </span>
This question is incomplete. Its full version is:
On the afternoon of that eventful day, I stood on the porch, dumb, expectant. I guessed vaguely from my mother's signs and from the hurrying to and fro in the house that something unusual was about to happen, so I went to the door and waited on the steps. The afternoon sun penetrated the mass of honeysuckle that covered the porch and fell on my upturned face. My fingers lingered almost unconsciously on the familiar leaves and blossoms which had just come forth to greet the sweet southern spring. I did not know what the future held of marvel or surprise for me.
