The Treatment of Males and Females in the Tony Kytes the Arch Deceiver and News Of the Engagement

In examining the two stories I will be approaching a sustained

inference on how men and women are portrayed within each story.

Looking at each story I will be able to summarise the way in which the

writers deals with the sexes. Within each short story I will be

dealing with different issues that emphasis the treatment of theses

constituents. Evidentially, the characters are an important indication

to what and how ideas are portrayed. I will be dealing with the

characters and how they bond 'male and female' interaction or parental

bonding 'mother and son'. I will also be looking in depth on love and

how that affects the people within each story.

Tony Kytes the arch deceiver is a short story that has a very

contradictory meaning. As expected the title would be an indication to

how the story is structured. 'The arch deceiver' this immediately

gives an implication to what is in expectance within this story. The

idea that deceivers are dark schemer, have a clinical view of how

things should be. However, 'arch' gives a clear indication that this

affable to connect with it is not intimidating by the ideas, meanings

and morals. The story gives a sense of harmony an essence of love and

warmth. The audience could appeal to a wide range of people. The ideas

of mother and son relationship could indeed grip the attention of

woman and maybe learn from this whereas it could apply to children or

people of a developing age. The hidden meanings within the story seem

to leap out at the reader and the jaw- dropping change in the story

gives that sense of excitement in the reader. 'We live and learn' is

an excellent finish with leaves the reader with something to walk away

with. Like a pearl that they can roll between the fingers something

that they can look at from different angles and see the beauty from

each way.
