SUMMARY
Gail Godwin’s short story “A Sorrowful Woman” illustrates depression’s overwhelming effect on a woman’s life. Initially, the woman grew anxious at the sight of her husband and son and eventually with time, she withdrew herself completely from the home normal activities. She lost touch with her surroundings although her husband desperately tried to please her every desire. He grew tirelessly from life, but it was never enough to satisfy the woman.
