ABSTRACT:
This is a 4 page paper discussing Edith Wharton’s short story “Roman Fever” including several elements of fiction which are used such as plot, characters, language, setting, theme, points of view and imagery among others. American writer Edith Wharton (1862-1937) was born into a wealthy New York family and throughout her career spent a great deal of time traveling and living in Europe. While the short story “Roman Fever” (1936) reveals her love for the beauty of the city of Rome, perhaps more importantly the story reveals the levels of deception which can live within the propriety of the upper classes. Through the analysis of several elements of fiction within the work, readers are able to understand how Wharton manages to maintain formality within the text yet still offer readers an increasingly interesting story.
