What will be an ideal response?
- Most of the fantasy in the story is focused on the anthropomorphizing of the narrator and her loved ones, endowing them with human traits and values—language, marriage, a strong work ethic, and social organizations such as lodges. The realistic elements are those which (we assume) transcend the merely human—love for one’s mate and offspring, adherence to the nature and traditions of one’s own kind, mistrust and (often very soundly based) fear of outsiders. Ultimately, “The Wife’s Story” puts us in the mind of the oft-repeated adage that the things which unite us are stronger than the things which divide us, inviting us to consider both sets of things and to speculate about whether the statement really is true.
