Intruduction A Dill Pickle is a short story which is about a young man and a young woman who have been lovers once and now meet again after six years of separation and as they sit and recollect we begin to know what happened six years ago that finally led to the end of their relationship In the story Mansfield artfully points up the heroine s sensitivity and the man s insensitivity to others their feelings attitudes and inner motivations When the man does not even recognize her at first only after six years and when after their first few words he comes back to his old habit of interrupting her we get our first glimpse of his self involvement Though the plot is simple the characters are vivid The story leaves a deep impression on us readers II BodyII Body 2 1 Speech of the characters and free indirect speech are used to reveal the characters psychological activities Of course when we listen to people s words we can get their view Just as in the article the woman s and the man s words give us clear thoughts about what they are thinking Also about indirect speech at this time the author as a third character draws reader think characters objectively Meanwhile the distance between readers and characters becomes distant thus every reader plays the role as a spectator They have enough time and space to judge their value and lifestyle and so on Therefore readers are entitled to be a judge However original personality of human is to wield power over others 2 2 Careful description offers reader a clear picture For example to be sitting on the grass beside the mysteriously Black Sea black as velvet and rippling against the banks in silent velvet waves when they had looked at each other like that they had felt that their souls had as it were put their arms round each other and dropped into the same sea content to be drowned like mournful lovers 2 etc This method of describing feeling and bedding surrounding atmosphere can bring us a lot of imagination We can create such scene and even can see the hero and heroine s every movement and their emotion Let us say Yet what had remained in her mind of that particular afternoon was an absurd scene A great many people taking tea in a Chinese pagoda and he behaving with his straw hat serious and infuriated out of all proportion to the occasion 3Hero s artificial movement appears before us readers even let us burst out laughing Especially his ridiculous behavior makes people ill all the people are eager to get mad at him Thus readers can totally understand Vera s mood and also we can feel the air It means all the people are not willing to have such a shameful boyfriend 2 3 Readers reach agreement with the writer When Vera feels that past love left nothing and is suffered wants to leave The mood of Vera is arriving high from low One time and falls down letting reader fell Vera s mental state of disappointment From the beginning to the end all the readers are disappointed at the man who is engrossed and arrogant However heroine s behavior reaches to the point of readers expectation As a result Vera s leave satisfy readers eagerness The main characteristics are to reflect the objective world through the complex changeful people s internal world and the stream of consciousness III ConlusionIII Conlusion Katherine Mansfield s innovative narration style in the critical world especially
