20th Century England
This story reflects 20th century England and the role of the woman. The woman’s
role was to be a house wife. In the beginning of the story, she thought about her duties as
a wife these, included keeping the house, making the meals, being there to support her
husband. She was excited about being a new wife and being her life away from her
parents.
She discussed how she was loyal to her husband and in love with him. She
couldn’t see herself ever hurting him or lying to him, she seems confident in her abilities
and a woman and a wife. She thought she would never lie to her husband, never
disappoint him and or hurt him in any way. But she ends up hurting her self in the
process by lying to him.
She was not submissive in her relationship with her husband, because she lied to
him about three times. It was not normal for a woman to hold secrets from the husband
especially when they just got married a week ago. From early indications from this story
she is not going to stay in the submissive way of the good house wife. Now she is going
to be a free thinker do things and say things she never thought she would do.
