Lit 12 - Sept. 14 - "Japanese Quince"

"The Japanese Quince," the short story by John Galsworthy, shows how people, at the time and place of the story, were too accustomed to the customs and standards society believed was right. The two characters, Mr. Nilson and Mr. Tandram, are part of the society that supports a utilitarianistic way of life. Mr. Nilson is shown to have a pragmatic, systematic life, from having breakfast every morning at 8:30, to reading the business section of the newspaper. Thus, one of the central themes of the story is that culture affects the way humanity functions. This is further shown by the detail that the two characters had not spoken since Mr. Tandram move in five years ago. Additionally, the face that Mr. Nilson does not recognize the feeling in his chest reveals that people at the time lacked appreciation for beauty which does not have a practical use.
