Who Was The Horse Dealer's Daughter?
Who was the Horse Dealers Daughter?

My first response after reading this story is that the two is headed for despair. Mabel again does not know what she is going to do. To save a life, the noble doctor has hurled himself into a vast disagreement. The conflict in this story is that Mabel does not have anywhere to go after her family loses their housing estate. Mable has been the concierge of the home and now with everything gone and the older siblings going their own way, she is left alone. The conflict is resolved to a certain degree, because she has discovered a new life path in the noble doctor. Then again, the conflict will once again surface because the two of them are very hesitant if marriage is the correct thing to do. To me at the time that this story takes place, the correct thing to do generally after seeing

She begins as the befitting younger sister who had a face that was very hard to look at. As the story moves on, she displays the dynamic as a disheartened child mourning for her mom. Later on, in the story, Mable becomes a gawky lover who endlessly portrays her flaws to the doctor. As her character alters, the idea of meager old Mabel what is she going to do with herself remains the same. The womenfolk took care of the household and this woman was barely perceived by men. The irony of the story is that Mabel ultimately found a life to look up to just like her siblings had. Her life could carry on like her siblings. She could take care of the home that she and the noble doctor had together and rear their family if they got married. Still, the two were too fearful to tell on another they thought they were making a blunder. The tone of the story is sarcastic, depressed and a little saddening. It is ironic that Mable finally found reason in her life. It is miserable and depressing that it will probably not work out and she would still be left with a life just like the first lines of the story, “Well, Mabel, and

    In Kayleigh Moore, Response # 10A. I agree with her. The Edwardian period was all about class, moving up on the social ladder, and about money. People did not get married for love, during this time frame. They were mostly lying to themselves about why they are getting married. In the modernist period, they were about finding true love and happiness. They were about being real, true, not being fake with each other’s. They wasn’t worry about the class system very much. She is right about what she says about D.H. Lawrence’s “The Odeur of Chrysanthemums”. If, we look at another of his works, like “The Horse Dealer’s Daughter”. Mabel feelings are very much real in the story. We can feel her as a person. We can all relate to her in some way. We…

    Mae Tuck is a friendly woman with a country accent, such as all if the Tucks. Mae has brown hair that had been slowly turning to grey before she had drank the water in the spring, and then became immortal. Mae Tuck is plump and a friendly person, and isn’t a person to keep dreaming (unlike Tuck). She knows what predicament she is in and doesn’t harp on it. Mae is indecisive about whether or not the Tucks everlasting-bodies were a blessing…or a curse. You can tell this from when she had told Winnie “We’re plain as salt, us Tucks. We don’t deserve no blessing… if this is even a blessing.” Mae seems like a person who likes to keep things at peace, but when it comes to her family, as when Winnie was being taken away (although not a family member, yet stilled loved as one), she knocked the man in the yellow suit down to the ground with Tuck’s gun, later killing him. This sent her to the gallows, however with her faithful family and Winnie she was able to escape before she could get their; she escaped at night, they couldn’t let the secret out. Mae Tuck is one of the best characters in the book.…

    A Jury Of Her Peers Essay

    • 915 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Mr. Peters describes her disposition as “unconcerned”, reverting the reader to seeing Mrs. Wright as the antagonist and her late husband as the protagonist. This idea that Mrs. Wright is a villain, establishes boundaries between who is the hero and villain. This places the reader on the side of the woman. This shifts considerably as the plot thickens. While in the home, the men begin to comment on the display of the kitchen- complaining of its filth, and labeling Mrs. Wright as a bad housewife. The women quickly come to her defensive, but are shut down as worrying about trivial things. Mr. Peters even exclaims, “well, can you beat the women! Held for murder and worrying about her preserves!” (4). At this point in the plot, I got the sense that the men hold a great deal of power over the affairs of the women, and that they have little respect for their duties. Although it bothered me that the men made a mockery of the women, I still saw Mrs. Wright as the villain of the story. Flashing forward a couple scenes: the men now have exited the kitchen, leaving Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale alone to gather some supplies for an incarcerated Minnie. They discuss her as a child as well as who she is currently, both having positive remarks for who she is.…

    The diction used by the author is crucial to the development of the story. In the opening line the author refers to the main character as “Mrs. Mallard,” and states that she is “afflicted with a weak heart. These choices of diction imply that she doesn’t have her own identity, and her weak heart symbolizes her perceived lack of inner strength. Upon hearing of Louise’s husband’s death Louise is further characterized by the other characters sensitivity toward her. Louise’s sister, for example, gives Louise…

    Mabel, in "The Horse Dealer's Daughter," and Maurice, in "The Blind Man," are excellent examples of this tension. Mabel's tension seems to remain an internal struggle, while Maurice's affects his wife greatly.

She has pushed aside any traits she may have possessed and has become like a hired hand, going about her work, not speaking. Maurice's struggles are shown through his actions also. When Bertie and Isabel are talking after dinner, Maurice excuses himself. He seems uncomfortable in the situation and consequently retires himself to the darkness of the stable. It is not until Bertie goes out to look for him, that Maurice confronts his…

    Constantly overlaying the past and the present, Clarissa strives to reconcile herself to life despite her potent memories. For most of the novel she considers aging and death with trepidation, even as she performs life-affirming actions, such as buying flowers. Though content, Clarissa never lets go of the doubt she feels about the decisions that have shaped her life, particularly her decision to marry Richard instead of Peter Walsh. She understands that life with Peter would have been difficult, but at the same time she is uneasily aware that she sacrificed passion for the security and tranquility of an upper-class life. At times she wishes for a chance to live life over again. She experiences a moment of clarity and peace when she watches her old neighbor through her window, and by the end of the day she has come to terms with the possibility of death. Like Septimus, Clarissa feels keenly the oppressive forces in life, and she accepts that the life she has is all she’ll get. Her will to endure, however, prevails.…
