The Use of Force
This was really interesting story William C. Williams has written. When reading this story, in the beginning it seems as if the doctor is kind and normal person who wants to do his job... As you read on that would change, well to me the doctor sounded like a nut case. I felt as if the doctor had something wrong with him, he was not a normal doctor at all!! When the doctor tries to get the little girl's mouth opened, he gets annoyed by her because she's a afriad; stubborn child. "i could have torn the child apart in my own fury and enjoyed it." What kind of doctor thinks this way??!! I believe the doctor loved seeing the child hurt and what to hurt her and enjoy it. "it was a pleasure to attack her." He enjoyed hurting her; this tells us that this doctor has serious issuses and should not be taking care of anyone but himself. But he did figure out what was wrong with girl at end, and the young girl was not happy for the pain she went through; she tries to attack the doctor. Which i believe she should have because he was enjoying every part of the process.

Try not to take actions and images and interactions too literally; connsider the the way the story probes human psychology, and exposes the limits of/critiques scientific objectivism--not that the doctor has a "problem," but that the problem is our understanding of doctors, the medical profession, science in general
ReplyDeleteyes, i know i should have consider other things.. after rereading the story and felt as if the author was trying to tell the readers how childern might feel when they get checked up.. They might think the doctor wants to harm them but they are only trying to help.. learing that the author himself was a doctor did change the view of the story
