Summary of Miss Gee, Victor and James Honeyman
Victor Summary
The poem starts with Victor as a baby with his father saying, “Don’t dishonour the family name” and “Don’t you ever ever tell lies”. Victor then grows up and goes horse riding with his father before his father dies of heart disease on a frosty December, and buried him in the same month. Following the funeral, Victor’s uncle finds Victor a job at the Midlands Counties bank at the age of 18, which he was good at. Victor stayed at the Peverel, a boarding house when the clerks questioned him whether he has ever had a girlfriend.
On the first April, Anna came to the Peverel and makes an impression on everyone, including Victor as he falls in love with her when he met her on the 2nd. It took three proposals before Anna agreed to marry Victor, when on the 3rd time they walked by the Reservoir. Anna doesn’t truly love Victor as she views him “as dull as a wet afternoon”. They married in early august but in mid September, Victor at work heard one of the clerks saying, “what fun I had with her in that Baby Austin car” which made Victor cry at the allotments.
Victor looked up at the sunset and spoke to his father up in the clouds, who admits he isn’t pleased with him. Victor’s father states that his wife will never be true to him and orders him to kill her. When victor came home, Anna was sitting at the table playing cards and started to speak to Victor, who behaved as he didn’t hear. To carry out his father’s instruction, Victor picked up a carving knife and said, “Anna, it would have been better for you if you had not been born”. Anna became scared and started to run up the stairs, with Victor following her and catching her up at the top. Victor killed Anna and stood there above the body. They tapped him on the shoulder and took him away in a van with him sitting in the corner saying, “I shall come to judge the earth someday!”
