    JANET FRAME’S SHORT STORY “THE BATH”: The Tribulations of Old Age We often entertain this romantic and sentimental assumption that old age is a time of peace and happiness after a whole life devoted to work and the family;  it’s a time to enjoy the full benefits of one’s hard work and efforts.  In “The Bath”‚ however‚ New Zealand writer Janet Frame (1924 - 2004) reverses this interpretation and uncompromisingly explores the “terror” and “torture” of old age. It’s 17 years since this old woman is

    While many short stories include the development of characters’ thoughts and a conclusion that ties loose ends together to help convey a theme‚ The Bath by Raymond Carver purposely excludes these elements to develop a theme. The Bath omits majority of the characters’ thoughts and feelings and does not have a conclusive ending‚ thus not communicating a clear understanding of the story to the reader and contributing to the theme of a lack of communication. Throughout the story‚ very little of the character’s

    the Wife of Bath herself is not a flawless example of feminism. The Wife of Bath is named “Alis” (326)‚ which is short for Allison in modern English.
