The Unicorn in the
Garden by James Thurber
The story
was written by Mr. Thurber is an ambiguous story, because people can understand
the man reaction in two ways. First, the man is not crazy because maybe the man
want to get rid of his wife. In the story, she says “you are a booby and I’m
going to have you put in the booby hatch”, so that makes the man feels like he get insulted by his own wife, and she didn’t respect her husband. Also, she
called the police and the psychiatrist as soon as her husband went out. So that
leaves the reader evidence’s that the woman is bad natured and tries to get rid
of her husband, yet she is not friendly woman.
On the
other hand, people might think he is crazy person, because the unicorn is a
mythical beast. Also, he may be taking drugs, so the drugs has effect on his mind
and his thinking, so his brain created a false image of the unicorn. Another example
that the man might be a crazy is, nobody believes that the unicorns are existed.
I see you have some ideas here, but I am not sure what your opinion is. Is he crazy or not?
