Creative Writing: My Impressions Of Editha

342 Words1 Page

Darius Smith 3 September 2015 English 242 Instructor Bonds My Impressions of Editha My initial response to having read Editha is that I feel Editha is so blinded by her religiosity towards war that, and so vehement in her defense of said religiosity, that it could be said that she is a zealot. In my view, I feel she represents the humanitarian interventionist/religious imperialist view when, after George tells her that it's come to war after hearing of it, she says to him, “But don't you see, dearest, that it wouldn't have come to this, if it hadn't been in the order of Providence? And I call any war glorious that is for the liberation of people who have been struggling for years against the cruelest oppression” (Howells 127). She suggests

  • Literary Realism in Editha

    2004 Words  | 5 Pages

    Literary Realism in Editha After World War I, the American people and the authors among them were disillusioned by the effects that war had on their society. America required literature that would expound what had happened and what was happening to their society. The realistic movement of the late 19th century saw authors accurately depict life and its problems. This movement evolved because of many changes and transitions in American culture. In the late 1800's, the United States experienced swift growth and change because of a changing economy, society, and culture.

  • William Dean Howells's Short Story 'Editha'

    1315 Words  | 3 Pages

    As for this Editha is constantly forcing George to consider enlisting in the war as said in the story, “It flashed upon her, if he could do something worthy to have won her be a hero, her hero- it would be even better that if he had done it before asking for her hand” stating her love for being married to someone who fights for her country is something she would rather have than his love alone (1389). However, this story recounts the conflict between the two people Editha and George who incidentally come not only from two different strata of American society but also from widely different geographical areas—The Balcoms are from New York and the Gearsons are from a place in western Iowa that causes the central conflict of their differing views toward the impending war (Engelhart). As a result of this Editha thinks the war is a part of “God's plan designed to liberate a people who have been struggling for years under the cruelest oppression” (1390). The peace which George prefers she labels an ignoble peace, and the war in her imagination becomes a sacred and holy instrument as for George, Editha's assurance, her certainty about the rightness of the country's position and her platitudes about a pocket Providence about the holiness of war only cause him to wonder further about his lack of conviction, and especially his feeling that all wars are stupid, that God is only a disinterested observer of the affairs of man, a claim that Editha finds blasphemous (Engelhart). This proves to the reader how she is obsessed with the idealistic view of war than the realistic by showing how different they view the conflict creating more drama to the illusion of what will happen during the Spanish-American

    Editha continues to use her powers of persuasion. Editha tries to approach his manhood. She knows that a man will fight for what he believes in and if he will not fight for God then she is going to convince him to fight by appealing to his sense of patriotism. She tells George that the war has united the country. This war was being fought to free others from oppression just as this country once suffered from oppression at the hands of a faraway nation. She states that if a man loves his country then there is only one thing to do. It was his duty to fight for his country.

    She questioned the necessity for war, and encouraged others to do so as well. It was through the use of poetic devices and aesthetic features present in her poetry, influenced by her own emotional, maternal and religious attitudes, that she was able to effectively position readers to question their own beliefs about the war. Gilmore not only motivated readers to develop their own opinions about the war, but also to feel great pity for those involved, and it is for this reason that she is regarded as one of Australia’s most influential anti-war poets.

    Zero awoke to find himself standing, it was not something he was familiar with and he searched his memory for any recollection of it happening before. Quickly he discovered that large parts of his memory were missing, gone were the seemingly endless data bases of information. Quickly he sent out feelers trying for a connection of some sort but he drew a blank. It seemed that where ever he was now, had limited connection capacity. Instead he used his visual feed to survey his surrounding, it appeared he was in some kind of desert of discarded parts.

  • The Use Of War In Voltaire's Candide

    1448 Words  | 3 Pages

    Famous politician and activist, Eleanor Roosevelt, once said, “All wars eventually act as boomerangs and the victor suffers as much as the vanquished”. This criticism can easily align with Voltaire’s own anti-war sentiment as illustrated in his famous novel, Candide. Voltaire took advantage of his literary capabilities in order to present to the world a novel that attempts to not only dismantle social norms, but also subvert humanity’s common - and corrupt - way of thinking about war. More specifically, being personally influenced by the 18th century Seven Year’s War, Voltaire turned away from any positive opinions on war and instead, developed intense opposition toward the armed conflict so prevalent within our society. With this anti-war

  • Creative Writing: Flannery O Connor's Writing

    813 Words  | 2 Pages

    Flannery O’Connor was a unique writer whose personal life was as unusual as her short stories. From her zealous and strict Catholic faith, to her love of peacocks, she is possibly the most interesting female writers of the 20th century. It takes a bold writer to put religion into their writing and it takes and even bolder one to be a female writer and put religion into their writing. Not only was Flannery O’Connor a bold writer, she set the bar for the writers of her present time and of the future. Her battle with lupus tested her faith and her diligence toward writing on numerous occasions and although in the end it took her life, the life of her work continues to live on.

    In addition, another issue that Edith bought up I this play is good versus evil. In the play the fairy godmother identifies the bad fairy as the reason for miss Canada’s pride and desire for materialistic goods. In contrast to the good fairies who bought wealth, health, power to grow, beauty and etcetera to Canada. According to me I think Edith tried to highlight that, we are surrounded by both good and positive energy, and we have a choice to act on.

  • An Analysis Of Anne Lamott's Shitty First Drafts

    1237 Words  | 3 Pages

    In her article “Shitty First Drafts,” Anne Lamott creates an argument attempting to prove to her readers that every good writer begins with a “shitty” first draft. This is a very bold claim to make about writers, and obviously should have some solid evidence to back it up. However, contrary to what one might think, Lamott has little to no “real” evidence to support her statements. Instead, she uses humor and sarcasm to cover the fact that she has no real support for her views. By doing this, Lamott lacks much of the credibility (usually) needed in a rhetorical argument, and her humorous tone does not suffice for a convincing argument. Even though Lamott incorporates a great deal of sarcasm and absurdity in her work, she lacks the most important

  • Romanticism and Realism in "Editha"

    329 Words  | 1 Pages

    William Dean Howells' opinion of romanticism is his novel "Editha" by having the character of Editha symbolize his views on romanticism. When George announces that there is war, Editha surprises her lover and audience by saying "how glorious." She romanticizes the war by calling "any war glorious that is for the liberation of the people who have been struggling for years against the cruelest oppression." It's hard to figure out if Editha truly loves George, or if she is overtaken by the thought of having someone heroic to love. One of the ways Editha views life is that to have good things one must prove himself or herself worthy of it, for instance her love. In the story when she's thinking about George, she says George, "had simply asked for her love... and she gave her love... but if he could do something worthy to have her, be her hero- it would be grander." What better way to prove his love to Editha by doing something he was not favorable towards for Editha's sake and allowing himself named captain of Company A for her amusement. Her true feelings for George come to light when she writes him a goodbye letter saying why she was breaking her engagement with him since the man she marries "must love his country first." She wrote that letter as soon as he left, it's quite unfair and she even realizes it yet still writes it to satisfy herself. Even when he enlisted, she knew that he was not for him but for her. Editha noticed he became a different person after enlisting, " he made her feel as if she had lost her old lover and found a stranger in his place," if she had truly loved him she would not have felt giddy at the thought of kissing a stranger after losing her true love.

  • Editha, by William Dean Howells

    836 Words  | 2 Pages

    In closing, W.D Howells is successful in his use of these methods of argument. “Editha” paints a clear picture of the men who must fight and the people who casually call for war. He proves Editha’s motives are unworthy of devotion. After all, it is easy to sit back and call for war when it will be the common enlisted man who will die to provide this luxury. In the end, Howells made his point clear. War never comes without sacrifice or consequence.

  • “From the Frontier of Writing”: A Critique

    The title of Seamus Heaney’s poem “From the Frontier of Writing” provides the first connotation as to what his following stanzas would be illustrating. As aggressive as it sounds the frontier paints a picture of war and struggle as to which can be seen through his lifetime. Heaney uses this image of war to create the concept of comparing the process a writer goes through to be published to the frontier of a war battle. We see this as a battle between two forces much like the battle being fought at the time between North and South Ireland.

    But as Essie replies in “listless misery...” Judith becomes – “Annoyed with Essie for her failure to be consoled and edified and to appreciate the kindly condescension of the remark. ” Through this “annoyed” expression, the idea of Judith continuous efforts to seek appreciation of the angelic appearance that she is successfully making can be communicated towards the audience. This therefore shows that this was simply an ‘act’, to gain acknowledgement and to fulfill her responsibilities as the minister’s wife, instead of from her true motives.
