Abstract

In The Country Husband, John Cheever introduces us to Francis Weed, a passive country man who leads a lackluster life. The story begins with a plane crash-an event that should be traumatizing and life-altering. However, Frances Weed hardly has a reaction to this frightening setting. He is truly a monument to apathy. Ironically, the crash is not the catalyst for the series of dramatized moments that gradually change his character; instead, his encounters with women stir his dormant emotions. Descriptions of the setting within each of these experiences reflect this sudden awakening. His memories, dreams, and newfound love seem to manifest every atmosphere. Unfortunately, the superficiality of his town stifles any emotion his experiences garner. He eventually must make a choice all humans face-whether to employ these changes in perceiving the settings of every day life, or to simply suppress them. Francis' reactions to the elements of setting in his world reflect the transformations in his character.
