Analysis of The Fence

The informant started the write up by describing the two nipa houses. But if you go back to his introduction after reading the story, you would realize that these adjectives were pertaining to the two chief(prenominal) characters, Aling Biang and Aling Sebia. They were two separate worlds, two opposing planets so n pinna unneurotic that their repulsion had become stifled, and its repression become more envenomed. And yet but a yard of parched soil separated them, a yard of brittle-crusted primer coat with only a stray weed or two to order there was life still thriving in its bosom.Words from this separate maybe too far to explain the characters feelings but it actually did. The originator chose to compare the lead characters of his story to two opposing worlds that bounce appear-of-door from each former(a) resulting to this awkward distance between them. windows as raw as the soul of the occupants of the house, as sharply angular as the potency of their hatred. This cle arly shows how each of the two characters treat each other. Cold, distant, deserted and empty. By this time the cause already catched the attention of the readers. Here, he starts to narrate wherefore the FENCE was built.Aling Biang built the enclose from hatred because she caught her husband with Aling Sebia and now she wants to cheer her properties away from the thief. Aling Sebia on the other hand built the other half of the indicate from hurt out of Aling Biangs offensive and cold voice communication to her. The author made use of the fence as the yellow bile they some(prenominal) have for each other that is why the fence was built by BOTH of them, because aside from the fence they literally built, there is also the cracking hatred exerted by both their hearts like a hindrance that keeps the two of them from forgiving each other.The characteristics of their children may have also been the results of the haggle between them. The hatred went on like a curse as their ch ildren grew to be sickly and ugly. The author even used ironies like the fence his mother had built and strenghtenedto crush his soul. and crushing sterness of the fence. These ironies were used to describe what Iking tangle towards the hatred that his mother acquired for years now, it was crushing him, his soul. He could have been happier when this anger between the two women wasnt existing at all.A situational irony between Iking and the girl of Aling Sebia also occured when Iking had spoken to her for the first time, it was also the last time. As Iking awaits for the music, he loses hope and thought that maybe the hatred had also gone with the girls heart unlike him who kept no hatred or anger. This manner that living a life in hatred is a survival of the fittest you can take or reject. And as the moon descended literally pointed out to his heartbeat slowly dying. He died with a heart of no anger, with an ear waiting for music but was dissaponted.So timely the guitar played as if it mourns for the cobblers last of Iking but Aling Buang rather took it a as a mock, she stood and looked accusingly to the other side, but she saw nothing other than the stately white fence which refers to her hatred. As she looks at her neighbor the only feeling she is able to pose in her heart is hatred and nothing more than it. Lastly, the author wants us to know the effects of planting hatred within our hearts. I beleive that the author of this story acts as a omniscient third person. he knew each and every detail that only the two women should have known.He also showed us what consequences having hatred can bring in our real lives. The theme of this story is mainly hatred. Hatred is an intense dislike or ill will. The author was able to describe to us how intense the hatred of the two characters train for each other, he also would like to clear our minds that hatred shouldnt be something we plant inside our hearts and nurture. This is something that would ruin us, ou r lives and the lives of the people around us. wherefore bother hating one person to death when you could have moved on and live a happy life. As they say, we only live erstwhile and hatred isnt something worthy to waste a lifetime with.
