Ethan Frome's Decision

Decent Essays
Ethan Frome was a peculiar man in his time, but when evaluating the decisions he made, we may notice similar situations. Ethan was left with a decision that many people have encountered. Zeena was a stubborn woman with an excuse that would cloud Ethan’s judgment. Mattie was the ticket out of his life. Ethan fought back and forth with the decision he encountered. He was unsure if he and Mattie would be able to work, but yet he went with his gut, planning on leaving Zeena behind.
Whenever I think of what happened that winter Ethan may not have thought clearly. Cold conditions can play with the mind, but in the end, it was Ethan’s decision. As the story goes, Mattie and Ethan finally have their desired sledding “date”. This date leaves Mattie

    Ethan Frome takes place in a small town in Massachusetts called Starkfield where he has a wife named Zeena but their marriage is falling apart and he is wanting to get out of the marriage but his wife Zeena isn’t quite letting the marriage end just yet, but when a new housekeeper named Mattie comes to take care of the house Ethan begins to fall for her. I believe that Ethan Frome is naturalism because I feel like there was more things showing that choices didn’t matter like when Zeena hired a new housekeeper and forced Mattie out of the house where she had nowhere to go. I think it also naturalism because Ethan and Mattie had to find an alternative ways to still try to see each other after Mattie has to move away. I also believe that Ethan Frome is naturalism because Ethan has to hurry home from work one night to get glue to try and fix the red pickle dish that the cat had knocked over and that had broke when it fell and hit the floor. It shows naturalism because Ethan had to try to fix it so Zeena didn’t come home and see it and freak out more then she would’ve when she saw it trying to be fixed by gluing it back together.…

    Mia Pollini AP 11 Literature Scene Analysis: Ethan Frome In Edith Wharton’s novella Ethan Frome, certain elements from Chapter 5, where Ethan and young Mattie spend a romantic night alone at home in Ethan’s wife’s absence, emphasize the theme of desire versus morality. These elements, such as the domestic setting where the two face the conflict of whether Ethan will act on his affectionate feelings towards Mattie so the two can be together despite both society and Ethan’s strict sense of morals highlight the idea that being ethical is more important than personal wants. For example, as they sit in “the lamplit room with its… implications of conformity and order” Ethan feels that Mattie is “farther…and unapproachable” compared to when they’d…

    The novel Ethan Frome, by Edith Wharton, chronicles the life of a mysterious crippled hermit by the name of Ethan Frome as a flashback to his star-crossed relationship from his youth. In the process of relaying this story, Wharton characterizes Frome’s constantly ill-stricken wife as a villainous dead weight to his free spirit. Wharton uses imagery and dialogue in order to paint a lucid picture of Zeena Frome as an older, nagging wife who over-extends Ethan’s patience; additionally, Zeena’s unrelenting ill health serves as a metaphor for her enduring pestilence upon her husband. Wharton’s use of imagery and descriptive language establish a relaxed, wistful atmosphere throughout the novel.…

    His subtle hatred towards his marriage and his wife’s attitude is the driving point of the whole plot. He rejoices at any opportunities he receives to spend time without her and strongly considers abandoning her permanently, constantly questioning: “Why should he not leave with Mattie the next day” (Wharton 132). The driving force that stops him is not his love for her or any consideration of her life needs, but simply the fact that he has insufficient funds to travel westward. Ethan even thought that when his…

    Edith Wharton intertwines color symbolism in her novel Ethan Frome to provide descriptions about the characters and their personalities. Ethan, Zeena, and Mattie are symbolized by colors many times throughout Ethan Frome, and are all symbolized by a specific color as well. Zeena is representative of the color black, as it represents her darkness. Mattie is representative of the colors white and red, as it shows her effervescent personality, but reveals her turbulent side as well. The color grey represents Ethan, and his inability to choose between black and white; it shows his despondent and repugnance.…

    When his mother became ill, the house became lonely and silent; only when Zeena arrived did Ethan restore his balance, describing Zeena as “smart” and “efficient”, words he would later regret (Wharton 61). Following his mother’s unfortunate death, left with only Zeena, Ethan asked her to stay with him, simply to avoid loneliness; the irony here is that, within one year, Zeena became sickly and silent, just like his mother! The love between Ethan and Mattie itself was unsuccessful, never meant to happen. When Ruth and Ned had kissed under the spruces, they had done so legitimately, since they were an engaged couple (even though they were…
