1. In this short story, there are differences between the way the narrator's speech is written and the way the characters speak. What devices mark those differences, and how does it serve the story? Can you identify linguistic differences between Mr. Shiftlet's and Mrs. Crater's speech?
2. Both Shiftlet and Craters make remarks on their understandings of what men and women should be like. Reflect on how the remarks they make may be related to a) the period and context in which the story was written; b) the context of the narrative itself; c) the intentions and motivations of these two characters.
