I don't care what she says and what she does. I seen 'em poison before, but I never see not piece of jail bait worse than her. You leave her be. "That Curley's wife does not love her husband and is merely concerned with her own pleasure and welfare is revealed in her conversation with Lennie in Chapter 5 in which she reveals that she married Curley to get away from the little town in which she lived:Well, I wasn't gonna stay no place where I couldn't get nowhere or make something of myself, an' where they stole your letters....So I married Curley. Met him out to the Riverside Dance Palace that same night....Well, I ain't told this to nobody before...I don' like Curley...So, Curley's wife deserves little sympathy, although her death is tragic.

She saunters down the street, with her new bob bouncing with each step. She rounds the corner leading her into a long dark alley. All that’s in the alley is a trashcan and an unmarked door that looks like if you opened it, it may fall off.

The townsfolk develop a mysterious wonderment as to why Hester seems relatively unfazed wearing the letter day in day out. “But did ever a woman, before this brazen hussy, contrive such a way of showing it! Why, gossips, what is it but to laugh in the faces of our godly magistrates, and make a pride out of what they, worthy gentlemen, meant for a punishment?”(Hawthorne et al. 47).

Eudora Welty gives us a very illustrated story entitled “A Worn Path.” It is a tale about a little old woman who journeys to the city to obtain some medicine for her sickly grandson. Still, one can’t help but notice the peculiar and even shady ways that she decides to go about reaching this goal. It is clear that Welty wants us to feel uncertain about this seemingly innocent and good-willed grandmother, because she isn’t all that she offers at face-value: She is a con-artist who has become extremely good at what she does through experience and extensive practice. Coincidentally, and unfortunately, this grandmother suffers from a mental illness. Old Phoenix Jackson seems to have no problem dealing with things that someone at a much younger age and in better shape would have issues with.

We see in the end what a nice person she can be and that she wants to be loved like anyone else.’ |
