Critical Analysis
[edit]What i'm reading for this section of the page: http://web.a.ebscohost.com.unh-proxy01.newhaven.edu:2048/ehost/detail/detail?vid=5&sid=a6c43cf5-0f65-4bd7-9f37-0a59167f2ff4%40sessionmgr4010&hid=4104&bdata=JnNpdGU9ZWhvc3QtbGl2ZSZzY29wZT1zaXRl#AN=120554746&db=aph , http://web.b.ebscohost.com.unh-proxy01.newhaven.edu:2048/lrc/detail/detail?vid=11&sid=198ce1b7-9dc8-483a-bcc3-4a547aadc30e%40sessionmgr101&bdata=JnNpdGU9bHJjLWxpdmU%3d#AN=103331CSSF11030120000102&db=lfh
First Critical Analysis
[edit]Robert A Morace gave his views on "The Five-Forty-Eight" in his Author Biography on John Cheever. Morace states that after his reading on "The Five-Forty-Eight" he found it to be close to another story also written by John Cheever called, “O Youth and Beauty”. Morace says that Blake is Cheever's least likable characters through out Cheever's stories. Morace states that Blake has under gone a change based on this experience he had with Miss Dent saying that this is the first time that Blake is experiences regret. Morace also states that we don't know if these changes Blake experiences will be long lasting or not. What Morace says about Miss Dent is that with her not killing Blake she discovered some kindness and saneness within herself that could put to use. [1]
Second Critical Analysis
[edit]Philip N Meyer gave his views of "The Five-Forty-Eight" in an article that he has written called The Inside Story. Along with his own views he also adds in an article written by Charles Baxter who is a writer and also teaches at the University of Minnesota. The article Meyer uses is called In the Art. of Subtext: Beyond Plot. Blaxter says that Blake as a character, "a completely loathsome suburbanite who keeps up the appearance of gentility in business and at home, but whose inner life is hypocritical and self-deluded". Blaxter also says that Miss Dent character is, "a lunatic of sorts, but in Cheever's story she is a messenger of fate. She is the ax to open the frozen sea of Blake's soul". What Meyer has to say about this story is that Cheever exposes gender power imbalances, social cruelty and sexual abuse in this short story. [2]
