The unnamed hemorrhaging woman in Mark 5:24-34 interrupts the longer story of Jairus‚ one of the leaders of the synagogue who begs Jesus to heal his sick daughter.

World Literature 7/20/2011 Yellow Woman Analysis After reading “Yellow Woman” a sense of mystery is imposed on the readers. The story itself is very short and dreamlike.

The man known as Silva acts very strangely towards her throughout the entire story. He is always laughing and smiling while at the same time forcing the narrator to do what he wants. By the same

subservient to idea and symbol. This makes The Woman in the Dunes something of an anomaly. Its plot is devious‚ addictive yet straightforward. An amateur entomologist arrives in a remote area of sand dunes with hopes of identifying a type of sand beetle.
