Skribentens beskrivelse af Number 40Write an analytical essay (900-1200 words) in which you analyse and interpret Sarah Butler’s short story “Number 40”. Part of your essay must focus on the point of view and the use of symbols. The short story “Number 40” written by Sarah Butler and its about Melissa. Melissa is a working woman, who is in relationship with Simon. We get to know early in the story that she doesn’t like to forget things – but she forgot her phone before she went to work. This makes her think about Simon and they’re disagreements. They live together, and though they disagree, its clear that Melissa thinks fondly of Simon. This is shown when she forgets her own wishes to satisfy Simon. She even tries to convince herself that his decision might lead to happyness for her. “Maybe, she thought, the table wasn’t that bad after all.” This could not be seen only as a positive thing, but this could also be a sign of codependence, which is a bad thing. It also seems like her relationship with Simon is what keeps her going. Most of the thoughts that we get to know from the narrator are about her and Simon, and her feelings for him.Lignende opgaver |
