heighten of the lady. (Narrate the process of geological fault that the American married woman experiences from the postal service of non- identity element to the commit of identity in the legend spew in the Rain) By apurbadhlaiJesun Change of the lady. (Narrate the process of transformation that the American wife experiences from the position of non-identity to the position of identity in the narrative Cat in the Rain) Answer Heming authoritys ennoble to his write up, Cat in the Rain carries much meaning than the literal hurl in the fall. Indeed, the story talks ab verboten a disgorge stuck in the rain however, this is non what Hemingway meant when he wrote the story.His character, the American wife, alludes to the title of the story by presenting elements of toil similar to that of the cat. In this story there is a process of transformation which is experienced by the American Wife. We notice that from various reassigns in her attitude. The story presents the Ameri can couple as emotionally barren, isolated by their make self- absorption. The save is unconcerned with his wifes malaise, never rising from his supine position on the bed, and even growing angry when she attempts to express her desires.The wife is nameless shunned by her husband and lacking a ense of self-hood, she is want the poor flock knocked out(p)(p) in the rain. C arelessness of the husband We are first introduced to George and his wife, the latter is referred by as the American Wife in the first sentence of the story. This title lacks individuality and has no special meaning, signifying that she is Just a mere American adult female and nothing else. This already confines the character in a little henhouse, since it implies that she will never get herself out of the hole where confederation has placed her.George does not help much(prenominal), rarely paying tutelage to her whenever she demands his care. This is perspicuous when she masters a cat crouched down the stairs one of the dripping green tables, and points it out to her husband, who offers to help from his bed. The wife never speaks out close the restraint George puts on her, but rather tone of voices it. The main reason behind this is her transformation from world the American Wife to the American Girl. To the general public, a young lady get outms to convey less restraints due to her youth and innocence, while a wife has her (and her husbands) image to protect.Hemingways choice of words implies that she senses the restraints be lifted once she left wing her otel room, leaving her husband behind. Hemingway provides other evidence for Georges restraints by presenting the hotel keeper, whom the wife has a liking for. Described as an old man and truly marvelous, the wife has a liking for him, especially his some(prenominal) qualities such as the deadly serious way he received both complaints his self-respect the way he wanted to serve her. Hemingway never says anything about the wite agreeable or liking George, turtner supporting the idea ot him putting some reconcile ot restraint on her.Lack of immunity During the last part of the story, Hemingway presents the lack of immunity that the ife has. She asks George if it would be a good idea if she lets her fuzz grow out? George merely responds by saying you look pretty darn nice. She does not try to argue about it, further implying that she feels inferior, and George has control over her. opus she does not explicitly state it, she feels that her lack of freedom is keeping her from being happy. She proceeds to go on a little rant about how she wants to have her own things, l want to pull my hair impale tight and smooth and make a big know at the back I can feelI want to have a kitty I want to eat at a table ith my own silver and I want candles. perhaps George does not want to give her that freedom because he wants to exert his role as the head of the house. Keep in mind that this story was written in a time where women were considered nothing if they were not married. And even in their marriage, many women were not exactly considered part of society simply because they are women. This change is the only one reason behind his transformation from the position of non-identity to the position identity.Care of hotelkeeper The wife ventures outside but is stopped by the rain. A maid, sent by the hotelkeeper, olds an umbrella for her. The cat is gone, and the wife exclaims that she wanted a cat so much, revealing that her concern is more for herself than the cat. She returns to their room and complains to George how much she wanted the cat, and says, It isnt any fun to be a poor kitty out in the rain. Her husband ignores her, and the woman, looking in the mirror, asks him if she should grow her hair out.He tells her he likes it as it is, short like a boys, indicating the lack of cacoethes in their union. The wife then begins to lament her many wants and needs, but her husb and coldly tells her to shut up. There is a knock on the adit it is the maid, again sent by the hotelkeeper. She has brought a big cat for the Signora. . It is profound that the hotelkeeper is more attuned to the American wifes desires and more willing to do what it channelises to follow out them than either the woman herself or her husband. Neither of them is willingphysically or symbolicallyto go out into the rain.Similarities between George (the husband) and the rain It seems that Hemingways main cable in explaining his point is by comparing the wife with the cat. Both are in similar situations where they are kept from being free. One is hushed by the rain while the other one is being hold back by her husband long to break out of those cages that keep them from enjoying life. Perhaps she saw herself in the cat who was trying to keep dry under the table. By going through such weather to rescue the kitty, she doesnt essay determination, but rather a sense of hope that she herself may be rescued from her own cage.Unfortunately for her, the cat was gone. This turn of events shattered her hope, making her feel very small and tight inside. Indeed, she still feels confined to the cage George placed her in, and does not see a way out ot there. Hemingway presents us with more evidence that it is George that places such limits on her. When she walks by the pardoner, he make her feel very small and at the same time real important. She had a momentary look of being of supreme importance. It is crucial to take note of this, since it is the only time in the story where she has any feeling of superiority.She has a sense of confidence that is absent whenever George is present. Overview We know, the story Cat in the Rain talks about a cat stuck outside in the rain, but I dont think that this is what Hemingway meant when he wrote this story. I like how Hemingway started the story off with describing the setting, where the two Americans were and how they were the only ones stopping in to this particular hotel. It gives the lector something to picture right off the bat. I think that Hemingway could have describe the characters in more detail to get a better brain of them.Also I think the in-depth description of the hotel wasnt necessary I would of liked to see the description put in to the characters more. I really liked the way Hemingways character the American Woman acted because it snarl very real to something in real ife. The way Hemingway portrayed the woman at first was more along the lines of a nagging wife, but when she goes to the window to see the cat her persona changes, I liked this because it made me get into her head and see how she was feeling Hemingway started in a unique way because I very rarely see a story start like this, and he pulled it off very well.The description of the location and setting pulled me right into the story I liked this because it kept me interested and wanting to keep reading. I think the title that was given to the wife as the American Wife lacks ndividuality and has no special meaning, signifying that she is Just a mere American Woman and nothing else. I think that the title Hemingway chose was to portray that the wife felt that she was condoned to George her husband and that he never really paid much attention to her.This lack of attention makes her feel that she does not have much freedom to express herself and keeps much of her feelings inside. She definitely feels the restraint that George has put on her, and in order to please him, she attempts to make herself compendious Just like the cat. I think this is why Hemingway akes it seem that she is so attached and drawn to parcel the cat out of the rain. Reasons behind transformation Two points can be inferred from this event first, George discards all the trivial things the wife says and does not provide her with any attention, making her feel that she must demand it.This lack of attention makes her feel that she does not have much freedom to express herself and keeps much of her feelings inside. moment and most importantly, she seems to connect with the cat, the cat was trying to make her so compact so that she would not be dripped on. She definitely feels the restraint that George has put on her, and in order to please him, she attempts to make herself compact Just like the cat. The Cat in the Rain fits perfectly with the story.It symbolizes a cat that wants to be free, one that wants to go out and seek the world. The process of transformation is make it to us. Unfortunately, something is holding it back, something out of its control. Hemingway chose this title to retlect now the wite must teel about not being able to control her own life. She is Just like the cat in the rain, a radical and passionate being unable to take a chance because society has placed a restraint on her.
