The tone starts off with a very intense mood. It is told in the Third Person Point of View. The wife thought the story is very much like a child, she needs to be protected by husband and always needs to know where he is at all times. The husband even acknowledges her as “poor child.” I think that the story is so peculiar because of the husband's strange character. It also symbolizes that people have to grow up. The wife is the child and the husband is the father taking care of her and teaching her to not be afraid of the outside world. The house is the place where she feel the most safe from the outer world. You can tell this by the first paragraph where u can imagine her getting just inside and it starting to storm. She is very restless while he is out and can not do anything with a clear head. The Narrator personifies the weather, like saying “the wind's shout took on a personal, threatening note.” The husband toward the end does not sound like he loves his wife much anymore because “He took her arms off his neck.” I would not be surprised because if I had a wife who was always worrying about me I would get annoyed very quick. This may be why he is always out and does not come home until it is late. He went into the cellar not because he wanted to, he did it to make her stop worrying. The husband at the end flips out on his wife and she gets really scared to the point she runs away into the storm. The only thing she was afraid of earlier that day. THE STORM
By: McKnight Malmar She inserted her key in the lock and turned the knob. The March wind snatched the door out of her hand and slammed it against the wall. It took strength to close it against the pressure of the gale. She could not hear the taxi as it started up and went back down the road. She breathed a sigh of thankfulness at being home again and in time.
