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.
