        <description><![CDATA[The moral lesson of "Roman Fever" is that often one misjudges a person who is close.  In the exposition of Wharton's story, Mrs. Slade, with dramatic irony, remarks, "Grace Ansley was always old-fashioned."  And, while Mrs. slade notices that Mrs. Ansley says, "[Rome] it's still the most beautiful view in the world" with an emphasis on me, she does not understand why.
As the two friends talk, they wonder about their girls.This time with...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA["Roman Fever," by Edith Wharton is a story about two close Victorian friends who do not know each other.  These women revisit Rome years after their first youthful visit; this time they have their daughters with them, and the jealous comparisons are made between the women.  Mrs. Slade asks Mrs. Ansley how "two such exemplary characters as you and Horace had managed to produce anything quite so dynamic," and says of her own daughter, "I...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Wharton's story contains several tone shifts.
1.  At the beginning of "Roman Fever," Wharton is reminiscent.  She might even imagine herself as Mrs. Slade or Mrs. Ansley.  The two women enjoy their vacation remembering back to when they were their daughter's age, attracting suitors and commanding attention.
2.  Throughout the whole story, Wharton is critical of Old New York society.  As she describes the two middle-aged women, she...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[A Victorian morality exists in the older women who vacation in Rome.  Both have their "little secrets" that they have kept all these years of their "intimate" friendship in which they have "visualized each other, each through the wrong end of her little telescope.
Ironically, in Edith Wharton's "Roman Fever," Mrs. Spade finds Mrs. Ansley "old-fashioned" as she knits calmly during the Roman sunset.  Yet, it is Mrs. Ansley who commits the sin...]]></description>
