Character Study of Walter Mitty
|
|
|
|
In the short story, "The secret life of Walter Mitty," a man by the
|
|
name of Walter Mitty goes into town with his wife to get some things done.
|
|
Throughout this story Walter Mitty shows that he is very forgetful and a
|
|
really stubborn man with a vivid imagination. He is constantly being
|
|
distracted, and starts to day dream often.
|
|
|
|
There are a few hints in this story that show Walter Mitty is very
|
|
forgetful. Most of this is probably caused by his constant day dreaming
|
|
throughout this trip into town and not concentrating too hard on what he's
|
|
doing. Once Walter Mitty had dropped off his wife for her hair
|
|
appointment, he began to do his shopping. Walter picks up his overshoes
|
|
and then "Walter Mitty began to wonder what the other thing was his wife
|
|
had told him to get. She had told him, twice before they left."(90) Also,
|
|
a little later on, Walter Mitty "was always getting something wrong"(90)
|
|
This last quote shows that Walter Mitty must forget things quite often.
|
|
|
|
The story also shows that Walter Mitty is a really stubborn
|
|
person. When he was dropping off Mrs. Mitty, Mrs. Mitty told Walter Mitty
|
|
not to forget the overshoes he was sopposed to buy while in he was town.
|
|
Walter Mitty's reaction was "I don't need overshoes,"(88) but he did give
|
|
in to his wife in the end, and bought the overshoes. Another incident that
|
|
shows Walter Mitty is stubborn occurs when his wife told him to put his
|
|
gloves on, then Walter Mitty puts them on, but when his wife is out of site
|
|
he took them off immediately.
|
|
|
|
The most obvious trait of Walter Mitty is his constant day dreaming.
|
|
Throughout the whole story, Walter Mitty is being distracted easily by
|
|
everyday events. His dreams turn these simple events into wild fantasies
|
|
such as being a surgeon, bomber pilot and a captain of a sea vessel. An
|
|
example of how he changes something from everyday life into a dream occurs
|
|
when Walter Mitty is trying to remember what it was his wife had told him
|
|
to get, then a paper boy went by shouting something about a trial. Walter
|
|
Mitty quickly went into one of his day dreams and was suddenly on trial for
|
|
murder in his dream. The story is based on Walter Mitty's dream, so
|
|
obviously he has a vivid imagination and day dreams often.
|
|
|
|
All of these points show that Walter Mitty is forgetful, stubborn
|
|
and a day dreamer. Most of this story is focussed around Walter Mitty's
|
|
day dreaming and his wife also plays a role in bringing out Walter Mitty's
|
|
characteristics.
