  • Analysis of O'Henry's Short Story, The Gift of the Magi

    902 Words  | 2 Pages

    O. Henry’s short story “The Gift of the Magi,” is about a couple who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. The story takes place on Christmas Eve in a furnished apartment at eight dollars a week. I feel that the narrator mocks Jim and Della for being poor. “It did not beggar description, but it certainly had that word on the lookout for the mendicancy squad.” (O. Henry 165). Della and Jim’s income shrunk from thirty dollars a week to twenty dollars a week causing them a great deal of financial problems. They both are troubled that Christmas is tomorrow and they cannot afford to buy each other a nice gift. Jim’s gold watch and Della’s hair play an important role in the story.

In our modern day, it is not the Grinch who will steal Christmas, but America’s unquenchable thirst for a perfect Christmas, a Christmas defined by money, gifts, and the practiced expressions millions of American children will display come Christmas
