(Freeman 13)

"Now the tall weeds and grasses might cluster around Ceasar's little hermit 
hut, the snow might fall on its roof year in and year out, but he never 
would go on a rampage through the unguarded village. Now the little 
canary might turn itself into a peaceful yellow ball night after night, and 
have no need to wake and flutter with wild terror against its bars." (Freeman 13)

The author expresses this by using the dog and canary as remote objects that represent Louisa. In the second quote she tells the readers that the dog will never bite, and the canary will never fret, but in a way, this is Louisa; she will never freak out on Joe, and she will never have to stress about him being in her space, and she having to deal with it. The psychoanalytical lens allows us to see that she (the author) wants us to understand that being independent is okay, and that everything will solve itself in its own time. By observing and taking note of Louisa's actions and habits, we can in the end conclude that maybe she was fit for marriage back when she was young, but now she is an older more mature woman who is set in her ways and likes her life the way it is. The author is trying to tell a story of a woman who doesn't want the things that people assume that women want: a god husband, money, and stability. Louisa was able to find both love and stability on her own, in her own world with the independence of a woman with a husband- minus the husband.]]> 2022-11-10 21:25:44 UTC https://padlet.com/s24600031/bp8exspl5b993j5/wish/2379309615 Citation s24600031 https://padlet.com/s24600031/bp8exspl5b993j5/wish/2380860528 Freeman, Mary.
