The Devoted Widow

In this world there are people who exist only to take advantage of others misfortune.In this case both the widow and the engaging gentlemen took advantage of the situation. J.R

She doasent love him that much to do not answer to engaging Gentleman and thats it. C.P

To me, this story was about something much much different.

The womans husband was gone and burried. She was, or appeared to be vulnerable because she was weeping over her dead husbands grave. Yet, THATS the moment the stranger found her most beautiful? Doesnt that resonate with anyone?

When the woman replies, "You should see me when I have not been crying," its not an invitation to come see her again. Its supposed to jab at the sad fact that this "gentleman" was trying to take advantage of her situation and vulnerability. Shes not implying that shes even more beautiful when shes NOT crying. Shes implying that HE will not think she is so beautiful when she no longer needs him for emotional support.

Im really shocked that so many of you thought the woman was at fault somehow and didnt see the innapropriateness and flightyness of the man!!!

And Im ashamed of the girls who think this story is about how all women need is a compliment to lift them out of unhappiness. How absolutely ttrifling is that?! A compliment wil erase the pain of losing her husband?

This is a terrific story, but your analysis suck!!! Learn to read critically!!!!

it needs a sappy wedding song

Very amusing!

so whats the moral? i dont get it.

its so funny. of course I understand that there is a character who died. but when I dont think about him. i start laughing at his widow. its a womens way of worrying. its funny to me
