As he predicted, I burned my light all night. But mainly because I focused on reading until dawn. The trial record of King Kerfol's wife Anne de Cornault was long and was printed very carefully. As my friend said, this may be a nearly literal transcription of what happened in the court; and the trial lasted almost 1 meter ...
Kerfol is particularly fascinating to me because it is in France, and as I wrote before, Edith Wharton is a fan of all American writers. This premise is reminiscent of other ghost story: Kerfol (name in Breton means "crazy house") "song" narrator was unable to meet the guardian of this place, but various I saw a strange silent dog. When I returned to the people who led him to Kerfol, he was tried by the wife of the king's wife Anne de Barrigan in the early eighteenth century. The following is very similar to the early days of my novel "Revolutionary Hostess" Gabriel de Montserrat heroine. But when I wrote this article I have never seen Kerfol ... these two young women are poor aristocratic women, elders, elders, elders, men unexplainable Treat them with cruelty as much
Edith Wharton's "Kerfol" is a ghost story that hides the deeper meaning. It is a social commentary on the role of gender in the late 19th and early 20th century. As the story evolved, an unknown narrator went to Kerfall with the intention of buying property. Upon arrival, he met a group of silent dogs who later discovered that they were ghosts of their former self. By reading the history of the house, he learned that his owner was beaten to death by a supernatural creature and his wife was tried for his death. The date between a woman and a lover can be used as a crime scene, but eventually a woman is sentenced to live the rest of her life at the lonely house of life and marriage. This is an expression of the oppression that women feel on that day, that is, their character can not escape from his prison.
