The Spaces of Ethan Frome
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper discussing the critical assessment of Edith Wharton's novella Ethan Frome by Judith Fryer entitled The Spaces of Ethan Frome. Fryer compares the novella to the characters of Hawthorne's Ethan Brand as she details similarities. She discusses the condition of the narrator as well as the condition of Ethan Frome himself and demonstrates how the two are somehow interlined in the analysis of the story. Her criticism at times seems pretentious and convoluted and it appears that she is trying to establish an obscure depth to the novella that was put there by the author.
