Rope

Rope “Rope,” by Katherine Anne Porter, portrays a typical situation experienced by both married and unmarried couples. A situation that causes individuals to become angered and enraged over trite circumstances. There may be various causes of the situation. One such rationale is that Porter depicts the woman as experiencing inner turmoil. She is distraught by the concept of her move to the country a mere three days ago. Porter states, “ her hair was tumbled, nose scarlet with sunburn, and already told she was a country born woman.” Obviously she had contrived animosity about moving from the city. Porter portrays the woman as never fully resolving her problems, but becoming frustrated by any antagonistic situation. Porter writes, “ had he brought the coffee' Gosh, no, he hadn’t. Lord he’d have to go back now, even if it would kill him.” Instead of understanding and dealing with the circumstance, the woman threatens that he must immediately retrieve the coffee and claimed the situation, woman, porter, coffee, rope, man, issues, both, states, reason, portrays, occurrence, never, instead, inner, individuals, himself, even, drink, country, circumstances, circumstance, causes, back, writes, wandered, various, unmarried, understanding, typical, turmoil, tumult, tumbled, trite, told
