The story is told through a mixed of third-person and stream of consciousness narration. He is the controversial, mean, scheming leader of men who are involved in subversive activities. I only read The Jilting of Granny Weatherall. Chloe rated it it was amazing Oct 11, This story was alright. A great premise to use for showing off the technique of stream of consciousness.
Sixty years ago she was to marry George. Did not connect with this one. I think this is a good short-story, but it should be read when one is fully awake to appreciate and understand it better. At the time the story was written many women who became pregnant out of wedlock ended up getting married, though did not necessarily marry the father of their unborn child.

Considering how Camilo acts one way in front of the protagonist, and one way out of sight makes the reader question the real personality of Camilo. As a reader Camilo seems like a gentlemen. As a historical critic, Camilo seems to be an older style man who believes the protagonist does not make a large enough income to afford the Elevated.
Since Camilo was all about a good time, he may not even know the protagonist well enough to know she has an income. Therefore he pays her fare whenever he has the option. Another mate, by the name of Roger is introduced in a taxi. Roger is found to be the opposite of Camilo. From a historical point of view, this seems to be a era where some men are accepting women in the workplace and where some do not. Therefore this indicates the protagonist was one of few females to be independent. This text gives several insights into the historical time period.
These hats were usually made out of felt and once they got wet, they were entirely ruined. Within the present era, if a man were to wear a hat, it would most likely be a similar style to a baseball cap. Depending on the man in the present era, they may have over a dozen of baseball caps.
Therefore, these men would try to keep their hat from spoiling. As she watched, he stopped at the far corner and took off his hat and hid it under his overcoat. Analysing the use of language the author uses speaks of the era as well. The protagonist speaks of having a janitress, present day language may speak of a maid or cleaning lady.
This janitress seems to be an older women, she speaks of her young niece needing to find a love. If you were not married shortly after that you were considered a disappointment, and in some circumstances called an old maid.
This clearly shows the difference from the present era where the average age of marriage is around 30 years old. Within the time era, assuming within the s, most women were yet to be employed.
Considering all circumstances and judgmental men, the protagonist is pressured by, she must be a strong independent woman. Women were just publicly fighting for equality.
