This short story is trying to say how the wife’s role is so corrupt. She is going step by step how she pictures the perfect wife and she is bashing men for how they look and treat their wives. She just lists all of the wants that she would like for her “wife” to do. “I want a wife who will take care of my physical needs. I want a wife who will keep the house clean. I want a wife who will keep my clothes clean, ironed, mended, replaced when they need to be, and so that all of my personal things are put in the correct place so I can find them in a minute.” (Brady, 236). Brady makes it painfully obvious how she does not like the lack of respect get in this world.
This is just one women’s view on this, is this really what happens in today’s world? Personally I believe that this does not happen to this extent now a day. Men have much more respect for women now than they ever did and I do not believe that a self respecting guy would ever expect this all from a woman. This writer is very feminist in thinking that this is all correct in today’s times. Any woman has just as much of a chance in making a career for themselves and not just taking care of children as anyone else does. In today’s times some men even take on the roll of the stay at home mom and that is not uncommon. This could be happening in some households but with my knowledge of how the world works this is not how woman are treated now. For men to get a good wife the man has to be a good man as well and treat her with as much respect as possible otherwise that man wont have a happy life.
