Death by Scrabble
In this essay, I am going to compare and contrast the character of husband and wife in “Death by Scrabble” and “Unicorn in the Garden” and observe how their characterization plays an important part in the whole story. Characterization is representation of a character or characters on the stage or in writing, especially by imitating or describing actions, gestures, or speeches. Characterization is also the important part of the story. For some story, the characterization is the purpose of the author.
The plot of the 2 stories has similarities. It has a twist in the end of story and the relation of husband and wife is not harmonized. In “Death by Scrabble”, the husband is hate his wife. He’s expecting the wife to be dead by made words in the magic scrabble that would kill her, but the end of the story is changing. The wife tricked the husband. The one who died was the husband because of the wife made the direct word of Death.
In the “Unicorn in the Garden”, just the reverse of “Death by Scrabble”. The wife’s hate his husband and want to get rid the husband. Just after the husband out of the house, she wakes up and gets dresses up then calls the police and psychiatrist. She expecting that the husband is crazy and the psychiatrist would take the husband to the asylum. After the husband get home, he tricked his wife because he so upset when his wife called him a booby. He lies that he don’t say such a word that unicorn is exist. Then the one to be take to the asylum is the wife not the husband.
All the characters had a similarity. They all wicked. They hates their partners. Their marriage is not run smoothly. So, they decided to get rid their partners with such way but in the end, the plan doesn’t run as they want to be.
The husband character in “Death by Scrabble” are a scrabble maniac-“it's a blistering hot Sunday afternoon and all I can think of to do with my life is to play Scrabble.”(“Death by Scrabble”, page 1), vengeful-“I
