Sometimes men messnot say No to women, although they necessitate it, and thats why they have to declare up some situations to make women say them No. The short story The Escape write by Somerset Maugham is exactly about this case, about the conflict between valet and charr, and this escape is the main theme of the text. The idea of the story is that one should hurtle on his thinking and act very carefully, as sometimes shillyshally can give better results than haste.The message of the story is that a adult female can be sly and scheming, but a man can make it his way also. This story makes the reader think about life sentence and alliances and it is not surprising, because S. Maugham became known as a master of human soul, a wise man who not only knows how to depict, the hypocrisy and brutality of businessperson society, but also has the ability to portray different characters in get in and natural Manner. The text The Escape under consideration begins with a appoint sentence which contains the whole content of the story in the folded form.Maugham writes about the relationship between Roger Charing and condolence Barlow. Rogers friend describes everything, whose name we dont know. Roger Charing is a young man, who has a lot of money. And he falls in love with Ruth Barlow an unhappy woman, who was double a widow. They were happy together and they decided to marry. thitherfore suddenly Roger fell out of love with Ruth, and he found the way, how to make Ruth release him. He told her that they would marry, when they would find the amend category for both of them.However time passed away and Roger rejected all the orders of the agents offering a new house. At last Ruth lost her application and left Roger herself. The title of the text is one word that consist the definite article the and the noun escape. The definite article the is here not unexpectedly it claims that text is about exactly t his escape and not any in the world. The story begins with the bank clerks introduction of the problem that if a woman wants to marry a man, its a mans opportunity and he has to find the way out of the situation.This is the exposition of the story. The exposition is written in the ironic tone. Such epithets as instant flight, inevitable loom, the narrators note with a tooth brush for all his luggage, so apprised was he of his danger and the necessity for immediate action make this effect. Then comes the inciting moment, in which both Roger Charing and Ruth Barlow are introduced. It is said that Ruth was twice a widow and it is said ironic, because the reader can think that Roger is the adjoining victim, through the simile He went down akin a row of ninepins.He also gives a direct description of Ruths eyes using the epithets splendid, moving, big and lovely, a detached epithet scant(p) dear all in the ironic way. The modal verb must, exclamatory sentence, parallel constructi ons if she married a husband flog her, if she employed a broker he cheated her, if she engaged a secure she drank, the allusion She never had a little lamb but it was sure to grumble make a humorous effect. We can recognize now all in all that all the narrators words were ironic, because his epithets towards Ruth are like that, and also stupid and a simile as hard as nails.Then there comes an explanation of why he has such an attitude towards the poor widow. Going further, we come across an anticlimax. The tense is growing, but then Roger on a sudden, fell out of love. This is a bit unexpected. Ruths pathetic (a repeated epithet) look ceased to wring Rogers heart-strings (a metaphor). solely Roger swore a solemn oath (a metaphor) not to jilt Ruth, moreover, she was able to survey her wounded feelings at an immoderately high figure (an extended metaphor). And here begins the real climax with its growing tense.The author uses repetitions they they, sometimes sometimes, they looked , they inspected, they climbed. afterwards the main heroes reasoning in direct speech, their proceeded searching for a house looks like a repetition, too. Yet, the author uses an antonomasia here, calling Roger an angel, though we know he is not an irony. Their further reasoning in the direct speech appears to be the climax do you want to marry me or do you not? Roger kept standing on his position epithets assiduous and gallant. Their garner are resolution of the text.
