(Narrate the process of transformation that the American wife experiences from the position of non-identity to the position of identity in the story ‘ goofball in the Rain) Answer: Heming manners title to his story, â€Å"Cat in the Rain” carries to a greater extent meaning than the literal hombre in the rain. Indeed, the story talks abtaboo a swan stuck in the rain; however, this is non what Heming focussing meant when he wrote the story.His character, the American Wife, alludes to the title of the story by presenting elements of project similar to that of the cronk. In this story there is a process of transformation which is experienced by the American Wife. We nonice that from various changes in her attitude . The story presents the American couple as emotionally barren, isolated by their birth self- absorption. The conserve is unc one(a) timerned with his wifes malaise, never wage increase from his supine position on the bed, and even emergence angry when she attempts to impart her desires.The wife is nameless; shunned by her husband and pretermiting a ense of self-hood, she is like the â€Å" abject kitty step forward in the rain. Carelessness of the husband: We are first introduced to George and his wife, the latter is referred by as the â€Å"American Wife” in the first reprobate of the story. This title lacks individuality and has no special meaning, signifying that she is dependable a mere American Woman and zip fastener else. This already confines the character in a little cage, since it implies that she will never get herself bug proscribed of the hole where beau monde has placed her.George does not avail much, rarely paying assistance to her whenever she demands his care. This is evident when she visualises â€Å"a cronk… crouched under one of the dripping thou tables”, and points it kayoed to her husband, who offers to help from his bed. The wife never speaks out near the prohibition George puts on her, but kind of facial expressions it. The main reason behind this is her transformation from be the â€Å"American Wife” to the â€Å"American Girl”. To the full general public, a girl hitms to have less control conditions repayable to her youth and innocence, while a wife has her (and her husbands) realise to protect.Hemingways choice of words implies that she observes the restraints being lifted once she left her otel dwell, leaving her husband behind. Hemingway provides other rise for Georges restraints by presenting the hotel keeper, whom the wife has a liking for. draw as an â€Å"old man and very exalted”, the wife has a liking for him, especially his many qualities such as â €Å"the deadly serious way he received any complaints… his dignity… the way he demanded to serve her. ” Hemingway never says anything almost the wite loving or liking George, turtner supporting the desire ot him putting some sort ot restraint on her.Lack of exemption: During the last part of the story, Hemingway presents the lack of exemption that the ife has. She asks George if â€Å"it would be a good idea if [she] lets [her] vibrissa grow out? ” George merely responds by face â€Å"you look pretty darn nice. ” She does not refine to argue about it, further implying that she feels inferior, and George has control everyplace her. While she does not explicitly state it, she feels that her lack of freedom is keeping her from being happy. She proceeds to go on a little rant about how she postulates to have her aver things, â€Å"l want to charge my bull fend for tight and smooth and actualize a big know at the back I can feel…I want to have a kitty… I want to eat at a table ith my own silver and I want candles. ” Perhaps George does not want to give her that freedom because he wants to utilize his role as the headman of the house. Keep in mind that this story was written in a time where women were considered nothing if they were not married. And even in their marriage, many women were not exactly considered part of society simply because they are women. This change is the only one reason behind his transformation from the position of non-identity to the position identity.Care of hotelkeeper: The wife ventures external but is halt by the rain. A maid, sent by the hotelkeeper, olds an comprehensive for her. The cat is gone, and the wife exclaims that she wanted a cat so much, revealing that her concern is more for herself than the cat. She returns to their room and complains to George how much she wanted the cat, and says, â€Å"It isnt any fun to be a poor kitty out in the rain. ” Her h usband ignores her, and the woman, looking in the mirror, asks him if she should grow her hair out.He tells her he likes it as it is, short like a boys, indicating the lack of passion in their union. The wife whence begins to lament her many wants and needs, but her husband coldly tells her to â€Å"shut up. There is a knock on the door; it is the maid, again sent by the hotelkeeper. She has brought a big cat â€Å"for the Signora. â€Å". ” It is significant that the hotelkeeper is more attuned to the American wifes desires and more will to do what it fight cars to live up to them than either the woman herself or her husband. Neither of them is willing”physically or symbolically”to go out into the rain.Similarities between George (the husband) and the rain: It seems that Hemingways main contrast in explaining his point is by comparing the wife with the cat. some(prenominal) are in similar situations where they are unbroken from being free. One is inhibi t by the rain while the other one is being restrained by her husband long to break out of those cages that keep them from enjoying life. Perhaps she saw herself in the cat who â€Å"was trying to keep dry under the table. ” By going through such weather to give birth the kitty, she doesnt show determination, but rather a sniff out of hope that she herself may be rescued from her own cage.Unfortunately for her, the cat was gone. This turn of events shattered her hope, qualification her feel â€Å"very small and tight inside”. Indeed, she stock-still feels confined to the cage George placed her in, and does not see a way out ot there. Hemingway presents us with more evidence that it is George that places such limits on her. When she walks by the pardoner, he made her feel â€Å"very small and at the same time really important. She had a brief feeling of being of supreme importance. ” It is crucial to take note of this, since it is the only time in the story w here she has any feeling of superiority.She has a sense of self-assurance that is absent whenever George is present. Overview: We know, the story â€Å"Cat in the Rain” talks about a cat stuck outside in the rain, but I dont conceptualise that this is what Hemingway meant when he wrote this story. I like how Hemingway started the story off with describing the shot, where the devil Americans were and how they were the only ones stopping in to this particular hotel. It gives the contributor something to picture right off the bat. I signify that Hemingway could have described the characters in more point in time to get a better understanding of them.Also I think the in-depth description of the hotel wasnt necessary I would of desire to see the description put in to the characters more. I really liked the way Hemingways character the American Woman acted because it matt-up very real to something in real ife. The way Hemingway portrayed the woman at first was more along th e lines of a nag wife, but when she goes to the window to see the cat her trope changes, I liked this because it made me get into her head and see how she was feeling Hemingway started in a funny way because I very rarely see a story start like this, and he pulled it off very well.The description of the location and setting pulled me right into the story; I liked this because it unbroken me interested and wanting to keep reading. I think the title that was given to the wife as the â€Å"American Wife” lacks ndividuality and has no special meaning, signifying that she is barely a mere American Woman and nothing else. I think that the title Hemingway chose was to portray that the wife felt that she was condoned to George her husband and that he never really nonrecreational much attention to her.This lack of attention makes her feel that she does not have much freedom to express herself and keeps much of her feelings inside. She definitely feels the restraint that George h as put on her, and in order to delight him, she attempts to make herself compact Just like the cat. I think this is wherefore Hemingway akes it seem that she is so attached and drawn to assist the cat out of the rain. Reasons behind transformation: deuce points can be inferred from this event: first, George discards all the nugatory things the wife says and does not provide her with any attention, making her feel that she must demand it.This lack of attention makes her feel that she does not have much freedom to express herself and keeps much of her feelings inside. Second and most importantly, she seems to tie in with the cat, â€Å"the cat was trying to make her so compact so that she would not be dripped on. ” She definitely feels the restraint that George has put on her, and in order to please him, she attempts to make herself compact Just like the cat. â€Å"The Cat in the Rain” fits perfectly with the story.It symbolizes a cat that wants to be free, one that wants to go out and seek the world. The process of transformation is clear to us. Unfortunately, something is holding it back, something out of its control. Hemingway chose this title to retlect now the wite must teel about not being able to control her own life. She is Just like the cat in the rain, a free radical and passionate being unable to take a chance because society has placed a restraint on her.\r\n'
