Literary essay
¨The Prison¨ a story written by Bernard Malamud, talked about a girl that stole things from a candy store that belonged to a man with an unhappy life . This essay will analyse some themes of the story, which are ¨Life as a prison¨ and ¨Hope for a change¨.
The first theme, ¨Life as a prison¨, refers to the main character and his thoughts about his life which was like living in prison, because he was not able to do what he wanted (¨Working from eight in the morning to almost midnight every day¨). Also he made a change in his attitude, on the beginning he stole things, and in the end he tried to help a girl, so her life will not be unhappy.
The second theme, ¨Hope for a change¨ was analysed in the hopes of a change in the girls attitude, he wanted her to think about what she did and reaalise that stealing was not good, and that she had the possibility of a happy life. (¨Then he thought of a plan that satisfied him. He would leave two bars on the plate and put in the wrapper of one a note she coulod read when she was alone¨)
