Ethan frome, so far one of my favorite books, it was realy discriptive in detail. I felt if i was the narrator telling this story to some one. Well Ethan Frome is poor man living with his wife Zeena (in Starkfield) whom is severly sick. He wanted to be an engineer but instead he stayed in Starkfield becouse of family problems. Ethan seems like a tough guy. but very silent, very known, and respected, jeoulesed, straightforward, and realy responsible. He approaches the complications of his love towards Mattie, Zeenas cousin and also her assistance in the house. Ethan is not only merried to Zeena but he then becomes in love with Mattie, and makes belife that Ethan and Mattie are a merried couple. It is somewhat like a wierd romantic novel but true.
Ethan went to pick up Matie at a dance from church. He spies on her before picking her up and sees her an Eady dancing together. He then beecomes jealous and realizes that Mattie gives this affection towards Ethan. Ethan thinks that becouse of Zeenas illness she will not notice anything strange about him, unfortunaly for Ethan he was wrong. She noticed that he shaved. And Ethan doesnt shave that often. Mattie does not want anything with Eadt, but she does with Ethan. And so Ethan feels really happy that Mattie chose him over Eady. Its crazy that in life if youre merried meaning all the love you have will only go to your wife, that there will be no other woman to share it, but here Ethan shares his love to Mattie well not yet but it seems that they will bit be happy. But to take in mind that Zeena is still out there gives Ethan the "CHILLS". So then they walk towards the farmhouse through this dark shadowing cold snow and they walk like a couple, holding hands, and putinf his arm over her. There all happy but then they reach to the house and Zeena opens the door and Ethan is shocked. Basiccally Ethan is cheating his wife, i mean its not right to do that but if he doesnt feel a love connection with Zeena well he then has to find someone else to cheer him up, in that case Mattie does cheer him up in fact Mattie brings this life, and awakening in the house. Ethan is like a very silent guy througout the text, as a matter of fact everyone is silent throughout the text. Towards the end Zeena is packed and plans to go to a place in order to see a doctor. Then Eathn realizes that he will be alone one night with Mattie so he makes this excuse to not take her in order to stay with Mattie. It worked and now they are together for just one night, one precious night.
Why does Ethan prefer Mattie then Zeena?
Can love be shared with another woman even if you are merried?
Can jeoulousy determine your affection to someone?
