Within the short story "The Painted Door" Ann shows that she experiences feelings of depression, and isolation. Ann's negative mood is apparent through the story and can be seen at any time during the story. Ann's husband is named John and through the story she says many sarcastic and condescending comments, "plenty of wood to keep me warm - what more could a women ask for" (Ross 288). It is clear that Ann is unhappy with John and not satisfied with him. She does not want John to go to his father's house to check on him because she does not want to be left alone in the house when there is a snowstorm is taking place outside.
The theme of loneliness continues when, after Miss Laing tells the children to go pick flowers they all “scamper off” but the little girl doesn’t. Instead she goes and stands under the “shadow of a tall pine”. The word ‘scamper’ is used to slow that the children don’t have a care in the world, whereas I think that Margaret does. The ‘shadow of the tall pine’ is used to develop the intensity of her loneliness by showing that she is overwhelmed in darkness. Here the use of imagery makes the theme of loneliness even more unpleasant.

Eventually, they ditched her and they felt bad until they found out that she dropped out like many others do. Bryson and Katz met numerous people along the way but wouldn’t see many hikers on the trail at all. Their interesting run-ins are what made the story interesting and fast paced.
Symbolism Essay Susan Glaspells', “A Jury of Her Peers” uses many symbolic effects to give a better understanding of the story.

All she has to talk to is ‘nobody but Curley’. Her dreadful frustration at being like this is made obvious when she is speaking to Lennie in the barn. Steinbeck writes; ‘And then her words tumbled out in a passion of communication as though she hurried before her listener could be taken away.’ The word ‘tumbled’ is used to suggest how desperately she needs to talk to someone. The word ‘passion’ is used to suggest the strong powerful need that she has to communicate how she feels to Lennie and it also stresses her impulsive nature. So far in ‘Of Mice and Men’ Curley’s wife has been presented in a negative way, in section 5 Steinbeck shows another side of her which has compassion and caring
Elizabeth on the other hand was rather nervous about the situation and guilt began to eat away at her. The guilt had a strong effect on the younger girl. She became rather distracted, and confused. She babbled nonsense, woke up screaming at night, and became weak, refusing or even forgetting to eat. But her guilt did not give her the courage to report to Reverend Parris what was taking place, and so the meetings continued.

Plus the fact that Crabbe was leaving and she didn’t want to face the loneliness again. Living in the bush for a little over a year by yourself is VERY boring and you’re definitely going to get lonely so I understand where she’s coming from. A lot of people get depressed when their lonely or sad, after she was assaulted I know she felt like crap like it was her fault and in that short space of time all of that negativity made her depressed, the best way she knew how to handle her emotions was so stop it permanently-by killing herself. Honestly I think that’s the cowards way of handling your emotions because I believe that when you die it’s not completely over, there’s another life that’s waiting to be lived and you’re going to have to deal with the situations that arise there.
