The Use of Force by William Carlos Wiliam
From the story, the difficulties
that people have towards separating their emotions and standards represents William.
The doctor’s behavior towards the girl and the young patient’s reaction lay
emphasis on the focus of this literature. However, the use of attitude, the
narrator portrays his character as a credible doctor in the story. The
character of both the patient and the doctor reveal a possible issue comparable
in real life. During this period there is an epidemic of diphtheria, which
worsens the situation forcing the doctor to take aggressive measures in
treating his patient. Revealed through his words, the doctor first tries
kindness but when he failed he resorts to using force. His use of force on the
patient cannot be condoned as he was compelled by his emotions, and that is not
what a doctor does, he failed to maintain his composure. He broke his own
standards, followed his emotions and hurt the child, even though he was saving
her life.
