My br other is also a physician, and also of high standing,and he says the same thing.
It’s interesting that either her husband or her brother are all physician and had same idea about her. It shows that how stressful the narrator would be if none of them believed she was sick.
Personally I believe that congenial work, with excitement andchange, would do me good
I find it interesting because she understands his symptoms and needs better than her husband ,who is even a doctor.
John is a physician, and perhaps— (I would not say it to a livingsoul, of course, but this is dead paper and a great relief to mymind)— perhaps that is one reason I do not get well faster
I find this interesting because it shows irony. The narrator’s husband is a doctor, but instead of helping her recover, his actually makes her worse.
It is getting to be a great effort for me to think straight. Justthis nervous weakness, I suppose.
The sentence is interesting because the narrator admits she cannot think clearly but then dismisses it as “just nervous weakness.”
Personally I believe that congenial work, with excitement andchange, would do me good.
His husband and brother are both physicians, but they don’t seem to understand psychiatry. I actually think the main character, as a mental patient, knows better how to heal herself.
