"Roman fever" Roman fever is a prominent example of Edith Wharton's theme that expresses subtle nuances of the formal upper class, its subtle nuances pretended to be stable and caused change. What has happened to their common society while paying attention to all elements of the silent signal, Mrs Slade's and Mrs. Annesley's story, contributes to the strength of Mrs Slade's and Mrs. Annley's story. And effectiveness: "Roman fever" first attracted the reader's attention as a simple and pretty boring story of two middle-aged women sat on the balcony.

Edith Wharton uses his inner monologue to contrast the conversation between Grace Ansley and Alida Slade and shows women's most valuable New York values. Hypocritical: The agreement and respect, the theme of Wharton's repetition. She hinted that the two women are truly violent and destructive. She was unaware that Grace answered Delphin and reached the actual date.

Edith Wharton did a good job of using irony to mean an interesting twist of "Roman fever". The first irony of this story is the title. In Rome, Roman fever was a common illness. People get infected with this disease is to catch a cold when going out at night and they are not properly covered. Before the reader explains it to the reader, until the end of the story, the reader understood the irony of the title.
