In what ways does the Repairman’s relationship with the Maypole washingmachine resemble a human love affair? In what ways does it differ?
What will be an ideal response?
- Like anyone else, he seeks a partner who will “complete” him by providing him with that which he desires but lacks in himself. As he acknowledges, his attraction to the Washing Machine is fueled by Oedipal and other neurotic compulsions. The machine is alternately seductive and aloof, manipulating his emotions in order to keep him slavishly devoted to it. Each of them feels insecurity and jealousy when the other shows interest in another woman or appliance. Except for the glaring fact that he is a man and she is a machine, it’s hard to think of any aspect of their relationship that doesn’t have some connection to a human love affair.
