Thank you We sneak in and here's your shmoop du

00:05

jour brought to you by short answers making tall answers

00:08

feel better about themselves for centuries Check the following passage

00:12

and we're just going to skim it really quick because

00:14

this is seriously the eighteenth time we've read it so

00:17

we're just done All right Why does the narrator use

00:20

the word Perhaps twice and in all capital letters in

00:24

paragraph two how does the narrator seem to feel about

00:27

her husband's opinion on her condition Support your answer with

00:31

evidence from the passage and well here's a potential answer

00:34

So rock on people The narrator has her own opinions

00:38

about her condition which contradict those of her husband She

00:42

states that her husband does not really believe that she's

00:44

sick but has given her medicine to take and has

00:47

prescribed certain activities to her while restricting her from other

00:51

activities She believes that getting out and socialising would be

00:55

beneficial to her But her husband feels otherwise The narrator

00:58

states the following john is a physician and perhaps i

01:03

would not say to a living soul of course But

01:05

this is dead paper and a great relief to my

01:06

mind perhaps That is one reason i do not get

01:10

well faster The narrator uses the word perhaps which isn't

01:14

a particularly strong word on its own in order to

01:16

convey her sarcasm toward her husband's professional opinion about her

01:20

condition In the time period in which the story was

01:22

written it would have been unacceptable for a woman to

01:24

contradict her husband In such a way The word perhaps

01:27

takes on a new connotation because it's transformed into a

01:30

word that directly challenges the authority of john is a

01:33

male doctor This has been your sample short answer See

01:37

how we used a ton of specific evidence from the 00:01:39.505 --> [endTime] passage Yep that's How it's done
