The dead forest had been cleared from the west face of the ridge. The wind blew him on his way to Tevar with his news-storm, disaster, winter, war.… Incurious, Rolery turned and followed her own evasive path, which zigzagged upward among the great, dead, groaning trunks until at last on the ridge-top she saw sky break clear before her, and beneath the sky the sea. From the north he came at a steady, pounding, lung-bursting pace, and never glanced at Rolery among the trees but pounded past and was gone. Where the path forked at the foot of the Border Ridge she went on straight, but before she had gone ten steps she turned back quickly towards a pulsing rustle that approached from behind.Ī runner came down the northward track, bare feet beating in the surf of leaves, the long string that tied his hair whipping behind him. She followed a faint path that led west, scored and rescored in grooves by the passing southward of the footroots, choked in places by fallen trunks or huge drifts of leaves. She went alone and no one called after her. Slight and shadowy as a wild animal in her light furs, the girl Rolery slipped through the woods, through the storming of dead leaves, away from the walls that stone by stone were rising on the hillside of Tevar and from the busy fields of the last harvest. In the last days of the last moonphase of Autumn a wind blew from the northern ranges through the dying forests of Askatevar, a cold wind that smelled of smoke and snow. “The duplicate of the order,” said Edith as she turned away from the counter, after the clerk had punched the value of her purchase out of the credit card she gave him, “is given to the purchaser, so that any mistakes in filling it can be easily traced and rectified.” – Edward Bellamy, Looking Backward, 1888 The idea that you could merely take a card into a store, swipe it, have the item paid for, and receive a receipt in this fashion was, well, the work of science fiction. Remember, this book was written in 1888, a time in which credit basically only existed as a method for individual stores to enable individual buyers to buy extra items. This novel, Looking Backward, is quite impressive in terms of making predictions about how credit cards work in the modern era, even down to the concept of one receipt for the customer and one receipt for the buyer. Kezia proceeds to find fault with the state and proportions of the doll’s house and perfection with the lamp in its simplicity. In fact, “what she liked more than anything, what she liked frightfully, was the lamp.” This infatuation symbolizes her impeccability in comparison to the others as she is drawn to the unadorned lamp. As the two older children admire the red carpet, red plush chairs, and gold frames of this highly ornamented house, Kezia, the youngest of the girls, takes an interest in the rather simple lamp. The Burnells take a great liking to this new acquisition. Through the portrayal of Kezia, as she interacts as the symbolic eccentric, Mansfield emphasizes the powers and blind justification of conformity within a society.The story commences with the arrival of the doll’s house sent to the Burnell children. Kezia is essential to the plot because she represents a taboo, offering opposition to common ways of thinking. A contributing factor to the story “The Doll’s House” by Katherine Mansfield is the characterization of Kezia as she travels in her innocence through the symbolic world of experience.
