    Moral Realism In this paper‚ I examine the connection between judgments of fact and moral judgments in an attempt to discern whether moral judgments are simply a subset of judgments of fact.

    Edith Wharton’s 1911 novel‚ Ethan Frome‚ is a highly symbolic story that focuses on the relationships and personas of the characters through the use of various symbols. Due to its minimalistic detail‚ more focus is placed on subtle symbolic references in relation to character traits and thematic issues. Wharton illustrates this attention to detail through subtle references to Zenobia’s‚ which audibly mimics the term xenophobia‚ distrust of her cousin’s foreign presence in her home through symbolism

    Literary realism is the trend‚ beginning with mid nineteenth-century French literature and extending to late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century authors‚ towards depictions of contemporary life and society as it was‚ or is.

    Ethan Frome‚ the tale of a man who has a bleak future‚ bound by his sickly wife‚ is an incredible story written by a doubly incredible author; Edith Wharton.
