Mrs. Strangeworth's 'The Possibility Of Evil'

438 Words1 Page

“The Possibility of Evil” Reflection For a little over a couple of days out of this week, my English class has been reading “The Possibility of Evil”. The main character, Mrs. Strangeworth, has been punished for sending mean or in this case, evil letters to some people around the community where she lives. Mrs. Strangeworth is a well-known and very liked person in her town. The reading stating, when she walks in the grocery store everyone would stop what they’re doing and turn around to greet her. Disagreeing with her consequences, her all of her roses were cut due to her rude, and mean letters she was sending people throughout the town. To me Mrs. Strangeworth seemed to be a happy, well-known, joyful person. This opinion being formed from the start of the story. When she was sending collisional; mean letters. I don’t understand if she meant to enervate tha people she was sending the letters to, but to me it seemed like she thought that she was …show more content…

The story never mentions if she is senile, or anything of that nature. Even if she’s normal, I still don’t feel like she deserved it because it’s somewhat what to expect from old people. Either they’re really nice or old and really grumpy, or senile you just never know. In my opinion, they should’ve found out more information about her and looked up on why she did what she did. If she did it to get back at them from something they did first, then I disagree with her consequences even more. There we have it, I disagree with her consequences because we don’t know if anything was done before, or if she was senile or anything else. I think they should have at least tried to work it out. I feel like she was a really nice, joyful, happy person, expecting that she wasn’t being mean because of her character. If so, then I think she would be a coward for sending those messages anonymously. Then again, I also don’t know the full

    Miss Strangeworth is quite a scornful person. She tends to notice the negative things about a person, and is judgemental. Here are two quotes from the story in which Miss Strangeworth is scornful. “Miss Strangeworth wondered, glancing at her quickly, if she had been taking proper care of herself. Martha Harper wasn’t as young as she used to be, Miss Strangeworth thought. She could probably use a good strong tonic. “Martha”, she said, “you don’t look well.” Miss Strangeworth came into a grocery, and saw an old friend. Though the first thing she notices is how unkept she is. Another time Miss Strangeworth judges someone negatively is when she was walking past the library and saw one of the staff she knew. “Miss Chandler seemed absent minded and very much as though she was thinking about something else. Miss Strangeworth noticed that Miss Chandler has not taken much trouble with her hair that morning, and sighed. Miss Strangeworth hated sloppiness.” In that quote, there was obvious negativity coming from Miss Strangeworth and Miss Chandler. Clearly, she didn’t take time to assume that she may have had a rough morning; she just stated how she hated sloppiness and walked

    Throughout the Possibility of Evil the theme is clearly shown as looks can be deceiving. On the other hand, some people might interpret that the theme is that you should treat others as they treat you. However it’s only at the end when the townspeople figure out that she is the one sending the letters which shows that karma only comes into play at the end of the story, while the looks can be deceiving is shown throughout the whole story. By showing Miss Strangeworth as a gentle old lady at first and then slowly showing her true colors, Shirley Jackson illustrates the theme that looks can be deceiving.

  • Depression In The 1800s in Rose for Emily and Yellow Wallpaper

    One of the seductive factors of William Faulkner’s society in “A Rose for Emily” is the traditional and adamant mental attitude of the main character in the novel. Miss Emily Grierson was stern in her ways and refused to accept change. She was known to be a hereditary obligation to the town. When the next generation and modern ideas came into progress she creates dissatisfaction by not paying her taxes. For many years and through the time of her death she would receive a tax notice every December and it would be returned by the post office a week later unclaimed. When the town got free postal delivery, Miss Emily was opposed to the new idea. She herself did not allow them to fasten the metal numbers above her door and attach a mail box to it. She has no tolerance when it comes to modern ideas. Depression and anguish increased within her causing major conflicts after her father’s death. Being left alone and without any close family to seek support from, she dwelled in disbelief. As custom from the town all the ladies prepared to call at the house and offer condolence and aid, but Miss Emily met them at the door with no trace of grief on her face. She told them that her father was not dead. For three days she was inclined to disbelieve and what had happened while minister and doctors tried to persuade her to let them dispose of the body.

    Because of Miss Strangeworth’s constant effort put into the garden, the roses became a part of her. “Look at what used to be your roses”(8). When the town’s people found out that Miss Strangeworth was at fault for writing the letters, her roses were destroyed. The roses were passed on for generations similar to inherited wealth. Miss Strangeworth’s family lived on Pleasant Street for hundreds of years and her grandfather planted the first roses. This made the lady believe that the town belonged to her and she earned the right to control it. The roses represented all of the respect she had previously gained; consequently without the roses, she was given a black eye. The letters sent by Miss Strangeworth represent evil in her town. Instead of doing good, the letters were crass, bitter and unwantedly exposed personal problems. “..Never aware of possible evil lurking nearby, if Miss Strangeworth had not sent letters opening their eyes”(4). She believed her letters were astonishing and changed the wicked behaviour. In reality, the letters encouraged other people to do evil as a craving for

By placing Deana in a nursing home where she can get the care she needed, I could only imagine that the decisions from the family were very challenging. Caring for Deana probably was a lot on some or most of the family member. So being honest about the care she needed, the decision made about placement in the nursing home was the best decision they made and in her best interest.

    Unfortunately, the letters she sends are the very cause of the evil that she has been trying to battle: her malicious words provoke the behaviour she is guarding against. Miss Strangeworth never realizes her darkly ironic position, and when she is eventually discovered to be the source of the letters, she cannot understand why someone would do something as “evil” as destroying her prize

    The grandma was a very selfish person throughout the whole story. Some examples of this is when the grandma wanted to visit the plantation and the rest of the family did not, but she made up a lie about the house “not telling the truth but wishing that she were” (O’Connor, Pg. 4) which made the children want to go even though she knew that once they arrived and there was not a hidden passage that they would be very mad but she only cared about what she wanted. On the way to the plantation the grandma comes to realize that she has made a mistake and that the house was not down the road they were traveling, but instead of telling the family, she decided to keep her mouth shut for the first time in the story and not say a word to anybody “the thought was so embarrassing that she turned red in the face and her eyes dilated and her feet jumped up” (O’Connor, Pg. 5). When The Misfit comes over to the car to talk to them the grandma recognized him from the newspaper article that she read that morning. She thought it would be a good idea to call him out on it without thinking of the consequences that could come from it. Due to that decision her whole family, including herself ended up being killed. If she would have just kept her mouth shut would they have survived? When The Misfit began killing her family the grandmother was saying whatever she could to try to save her own life, but not the rest of her family’s life. “You wouldn’t shot a lady, would you?” (O’Connor, Pg. 6). She only cared about herself surviving. “I will give you all the money I got” (O’Connor, Pg. 8)The Grandma ended up sealing the fate of herself and her family because she only thought about herself and did not know when to keep quiet and when she should speak

  • Yoselyn Ortega Ethical Issues

    847 Words  | 2 Pages

    I think that people with a restricted sense of rational should not be permitted to take care of young children who also lack rationale. With this being said, all babysitters and nannies should have to undergo some kind of background check to ensure that they are trustworthy, mentally stable, and reliable individuals. I think that Ortega should be punished for her action. I am actually upset that it has taken over three years to get to the bottom of this case. I do not believe that Ortega had been suffering from such an extreme mental illness. I think she is using it as an excuse to be free of consequence. I think it most likely would have been impossible for her to last so long without anyone observing the discrepancies with her mentality. The fact that she left things to be inherited and important papers for her family is an outright sign that she premeditated the murder. If she is able to be free from this case and not take responsibility I will be extremely upset. It does not seem logical that someone struggling from so many mental illnesses could last so long without being noticed or getting help. I think that justice should be given to the innocent mother who is grieving and the two innocent children who lost their lives because a person could not control their emotions. In my opinion, if someone kills another person, they should be punished no matter what the

  • Scarlet Letter Essay: The Nature Of Evil

    Have you ever done something wrong in a moment’s time that has affected your life, and the lives of others, forever? In the novel, The Scarlet Letter, Hester Prynne commits adultery with an unknown man, later revealed to be Reverend Dimmesdale, and it not only affects her life, but the lives of several different people. At the beginning of the story, when Hester is standing on the scaffold in front of everyone, she sees her husband, Roger Chillingworth, who has just arrived to Boston, standing in the crowd. When he and Hester have a conversation and she refuses to tell him who the child’s father is, he vows that he will find out the name of the father of Hester’s child. Because he has become so obsessed with finding out who the man is and is looking to seek revenge, Chillingworth becomes a completely different character than when he was first introduced, which demonstrates the strength of the nature of evil.

  • I Never Promised You a Rose Garden by Joanne Greenberg

    1199 Words  | 3 Pages

    The cold tone of this story starts out right in the beginning and her mother and father are quite distraught because of the daughter’s illness and the fact that they must trust the doctors; they seem to not trust anyone. They even told their own family that Deborah is at convalescent school, not a mental institution. Of course the time period of the book is much earlier than now so it is more understandable why they were upset. Hopefully parents now are less ignorant and would try and be proud of their child to willingly get help. It would be too harsh however to say that Deborah’s parents did not do the best that they could, they just did not even realize that their daughter was mentally sick. They didn’t even know that her peeing herself was the result of a tumor. I can say that the way that they treated her for that was wrong. At least they feel bad or that it is their fault. I think that much more of the blame needs to be placed on the parents, contrary of what Dr. Fried stated. It is the responsibility of the parents to protect and nurture their children, not to physically punish what it not right.
