Process-Writing Prompts for “Jealous Husband”

Posted on January 29, 2013 by Bryan

In class, we’ll start off by taking sides on the first two questions, which are mandatory for this 750. If we have time, we’ll sit down and talk about the other questions, which are optional for this 750.

Character (mandatory questions)

Do you think the wife is really fooling around while the guy is alive? How much do you believe his version of events? Hunt for textual evidence of his reliability or unreliability.

Is the husband a sympathetic character, or is he despicable? Does your reading of his personality change at all through the course of the story?

Speaking of change . . .

Is there a change in this story? Or do you think it’s a story of a lost chance to change?

If you see a change, what is it? What causes it?

What does the change (or the lost chance to change) mean in the larger context of the story?

Setting

What is the significance or symbolic weight of the cage?

Are there any other “cages” or cage imagery in this story?

The arrows-going-in-the-other-direction-question

This story might be said to be about jealousy. In what ways is it about something else, something like love or generosity or compassion? What moments of love or compassion stand out?
