The Impoverished Couple - E-book - ePub

Mr. J, as a university professor couldn't earn enough money to make ends meet. He had a child under the age of two and a wife who was about to give birth. The story took Mrs. J's delivery as the main line, in which Mr. J borrowed money, hired housemaids, recalled the memories of the past and the trivial things in reality. The author uses a lot of linguistic and psychological description, supplemented by the description of environment, to depict the difficult life of a depressed and lonely professor with vanity.
The article ended with Mrs. J being seriously ill with puerperal disease, leaving readers an open ending. Mr. J, as a university professor couldn't earn enough money to make ends meet.
