Comparing and contrasting of narration of two stories
A Dill Pickle is the short story that tells about a women who meet again with her
husband and they both did not seen each other from last 6 years. It has a limited perspective with
a reader who are being encouraged in order to see the unplanned reunion of both. Thus this story
is based upon the third party narration where a woman really loves a man but she also broken the
relationship with him. She came from rich family while man belongs to poor family but they
both loved each other. The man go around many countries which they both dream to go together
and this made a woman hate him. Further, the man is so self- engrossed and unconcerned
regarding his beloved and he was always busy with himself but they both have some similarity
i.e. egoist, loved each others and has a dream to go Russia (Zuo, 2019). They both sat in a café
and share their life. Then man said that he spent time with travelling to many countries that also
includes Russia where the woman actually wants to go, but not reach it yet. When this incident is
shared, the lady personality is clearly reflected that she is a one dimensional character and her
personality is define purely about her reactions. But the lady is sat quite for some time but when
man did not stop the conversation, she walked down without any signs.
On the other side, man called a waitress to take an order of food by interrupting her talks
and this incident reminds her that its same and nothing is change even after six years. He also
retell about the sweet memory at Kew Garden where he did not know the names of any flowers
but he knew it one by one. But that incident was very bad for the woman because the man felt
embarrass in front of many people with his behavior. Thus, she recall every bad memory when
they wants to create a romantic evening like other people but unfortunately they suffered. At last,
mad start to tell that he also spent some days on a river boat on Volga and the life of Russia is
so free such that peasants are so splendid and they also offer a dill Pickle to him as well.
Also, when the conversation is run of Russia, the attitude of narrator appears to be
measured and withdrawn as well (Walshe and Dublin, 2018). It is so because Russia is cold
place and women hates cold. Thus, man suddenly input into a conversation and women go
without any warning but obly provide an expression of her coldness towards him. Further, it is
analyzed that there is a dispassionate tone of ‘A Dill Pickle’ in which a feeling of being kept at
arm’s length and there is a vibrant interaction that gives a sense of immediacy to another tale.
