![]() ![]() The way the narrator idolized Ethan, though, because of his disability, was really weird and creepy though. Ethan Frome is a bland story that follows the life of a boring person, up until we start to get more information on Ethan. It was dry and bland, and I was constantly waiting for something to happen that would pique my interest. Maybe this story might have been redeemed by decent writing, but there was really nothing special about Wharton’s writing. Ethan Frome ended up being exactly what I assumed it would be: offensive to disabled peoples, following a ridiculous story that was disappointing and exasperating all at once. I really wasn’t looking forward to this book, mainly because it just seemed othering of disabled peoples, but I eventually had to read it because we often have in-class essays dedicated to the books we read, and I couldn’t exactly just throw myself under that bus. ![]() An unknown person, new to the town of Starkfield, finds himself obsessed with the history of one of the town’s citizens, Ethan Frome, and specifically how he found himself stuck in Starkfield, and not in some grander place. ![]()
