The Doctor's Wife

A Scrap of Paper in Jhumpa Lahiri’s Interpreter of Maladies I. General Introduction Jhumpa Lahiri’s Interpreter of Maladies is a short story about a doctor’s interpreter who moonlights as a tourist guide in the backdrop of India’s hot July tourist season. At the heart of the story is an absorbing commentary of the disappointments and desperations reigning in contemporary marriages. Her portrayal of the protagonist, Mr. Kapasi, expresses a soul in resigned stupor awakened by a dream of a passionate

unrealistic spouse she has fabricated, by practicing polite and formal grammar. “‘I won’t marry anybody except a doctor,’ she would declare, with conscious avoidance of bad grammar, as it behooved a doctor’s wife (Cahan 765).” The passage informs the reader that Flora is aware of the reputation that a doctor’s wife carries and because she is dedicated to meeting her end goal, she will try to redefine herself in a more elegant and formal manner. Her desire for a better lifestyle come to a halt when she sits

Judy Brady in her essay “I Want a Wife” spoke for women, whom at the time were fighting for political, social, and economic equality. Brady recalls all the duties of women and the characteristics of “wives” at the time. Brady’s 1972 characterization of a wife is still accurate today.

Kapasi’s profession that the theme of interpretation and communication is exemplified. No one has ever been as attentive about his occupation as Mrs. Das, not even his wife, who shows little regard for his career as an interpreter, referring to him as simply a “doctor’s assistant” (52).

The movie Send Me No Flowers is centered around George Kimball, a man that constantly thinks he is becoming ill and ignores any person that tells him different. When at the doctor’s office because of a “worrisome” chest pain, George overheard the doctor speak on the phone about a patient that was dying.

scared of how smart he was. The doctors may have gotten Charlie smart, but the definitely didn’t act ethically. The doctors wanted fame. It said in the book that the doctors wanted to do the operation so they could get famous. Also one of the doctor's wife was pushing him to get the operation done. The doctors also didn’t inform Charlie about the operation at all. They wanted to get it done with, but they didn’t think about anyone else but themselves. So overall, the doctors did not act
