The false down
Have you ever read a very short story and hated reading the thing? Because that’s just how I felt when I was reading the short story (The False Down written by Edith Wharton.) I didn’t understand what lessen the short story was trying to get across and was generally confusing.
In addition this was a weird story it sounded like it was written in the 70’s and I would never recommend this to anybody. The reason why it sounded like it was written in the 70’s is because there was a person that was terribly sick and people where giving money and food do her now that’s normal but the weird thing was they made it seem like she couldn’t see a doctor or get better it sounded like she was on her death bed sadly.
Furthermore there was some symbolism in the 2 and a half pages of the story they used words like the mahogany and teak bed which brought confused thoughts into the readers head because he was wondering what the bead would look like because mahogany and teak are both exotic woods to make a bed out of. The story also had the word devastated a few times which brought fear into the readers mind while reading the story.
So if you would read this story you would be confused and upset. Who knows what happens to the sick person you don’t know if she lives or dies nobody knows because of the story ends before the author finished telling you what happened in the long run. So this short story is definitely going on my never read again list!
