Edith Wharton's Ethan Frome is a classic of American Literature, with compelling characters trapped in circumstances from which they seem unable to escape. The novel was published in 1911, set in the fictitious town of Starkfield, Massachusetts, whose naming is a subtle overture to the book's mood.

Images of death, frozen submission, imprisonment, and sterility imbue Ethan Frome with a sense of grim determinism. Yet it is not a deterministic work.

2024年9月10日 · "Ethan Frome" immerses you in a tragic tale of love and loss set in the bleakness of Starkfield. You watch Ethan, a tormented soul, torn between duty to his bitter wife Zeena and his yearning for the spirited Mattie. Wharton's elegant prose beautifully reveals the emotional struggles and moral dilemmas each character faces.

Ethan Frome drove in silence, the reins loosely held in his left hand, his brown seamed profile, under the helmet-like peak of the cap, relieved against the banks of snow like the bronze image of a hero. He never turned his face to mine, or answered, except in monosyllables, the questions I put, or such slight pleasantries as I ventured.

Whereas Trilling and other critics have found Ethan Frome to be without moral content, Ammons argues that Wharton's moral "emerges cold and grim as her Starkfield setting."

"Ethan Frome" by Edith Wharton is a haunting novella set in the bleak, wintry landscape of Starkfield, Massachusetts. The story follows the life of the titular character, a brooding and impoverished farmer trapped in a loveless marriage to his sickly wife Zeena.

Ethan was the most interesting character in Starkfield. It's not just because Ethan was super-tall – many Starkfielders are tall. Nope, it's because he had swagger – even with the severe limp, and disfiguration of one side of his body. Ethan's face had a grim, aged look, and the narrator was shocked to hear he was only fifty-two years old.
