Even when faced with newfound freedom, they are overwhelmed by fear and confusion, hesitating at the threshold of change. The story symbolically reflects Victorian values, the oppression of women, and the anxiety of transformation. Mansfield employs multiple perspectives and symbolic devices to realistically depict the characters’ psychological states and the uncertainties of a changing era.

저자(글) 캐서린 맨스필드

Katherine Mansfield (18881923) was a leading modernist short story writer from Wellington, New Zealand, who worked primarily in England. Moving to England at 19, she published acclaimed collections such as Bliss (1920) and The Garden Party (1922), pioneering new forms in short fiction. Influenced by Anton Chekhov, she developed a unique style that captured psychological conflict and the subtleties of daily life. Although her life was cut short by tuberculosis at age 34, Mansfield’s experimental and original approach left a lasting mark. Her works address themes like female oppression, social hypocrisy, and the fear of change-issues still relevant today. Mansfield’s literature offers deep insight into the human condition and continues to inspire self-reflection and social critique in the modern era.
