Summary:
This novella has been a roller coaster with the relationship between the narrator and the con fussed wife. A huge topic that they both speak about it marriage, the pros and cons of the whole marital process. The narrator spoke about a play that she watched and how it was all just a waste of time. The narrator says that what really matters in a marriage is there to be a strong bond between the two, and that no paper could ever prove that love. While the wife agrees on certain parts, she also includes some of her own life examples.She has been married for over ten years and she feels as if she is alone in her relationship. She sometimes wonders that she is not doing enough to maintain her relationship strong. The controversy between the two fascinates me because they both have very different views on love, while at the same time very alike.
Quote:
"Cheating is easy. Theres no swank to infidelity" (Winterson 77).
Reaction:
Between the narrator and the wife there are many controversy's and it is not as if they both stay quiet about it, they yell about it. But one thing that they both agreed on is that cheating is not that bad. On one side for the narrator they say that sex is the most important thing, so cheating is just a regular. While for the wife, she is not happy at all in her relationship so she feels as if cheating is her last resort to happiness. I found it amazing how on the most unagreeable topics, these two completely different people agree on.
where is this action/conversation taking place? It is tough to imagine how the story is being told.
