Marion's introduction creates a vivid picture to take the reader into the story to make them feel as if they are there with the character making the reader familiar with the surroundings and characters fully describing the setting and going into detail about the houses style left behind by an wealthy woman who was able to change the place to suit her desires and is now being used by this family.
Second Section
There is a sense of something not being right and that the people surrounding the character are not really acting like a family in regards to their sexual desires ,but it seems that the character is the only one that has a problem with this feeling so far
Welcome to the blog for Prof. John Talbird's English 220 class. The purpose of this site is two-fold: 1) to continue the conversations we start in class (or to start conversations before we get to class) and 2) to practice our writing/reading on a weekly basis in an informal forum.
I completely agree with you. The second section is all too incestuous but you can't even make that claim because whether everybody is really related is a mystery. It is all so awkward. The narrator goes from vividly describing this home which gives your the sense she is happy to be there from feeling uncomfortable. I guess she is doing that to trick us. Like " oh, look at where I spent my days" to "really, Marion?"
