THE VERDICT, A Short Story by Edith Wharton

[@dawnriddle-knowlton9932]

Another Edith Wharton. Thanks bunches!!

[@granthurlburt4062]

Thanks so much for posting this. One of the marks of great literature is how good (well?) it sounds when read out.

Good : adjective describing the noun- literature Well: adverb describing the verb - read.

[@owengreene382]

Edith's short stories were of a time when most wemon were to be seen not heard. And golly right they were!!

As an artist, my take away is the example of language that you are learning and can only express yourself with limited vocabulary.

What is the piano music at the end anyone please?

[@chelmcclutchie5748]

Edith Wharton's acerbic comment on popular artists is shockingly accurate. Who determines taste?

[@counselorscouch1015]

Who creates the art you use?

[@joealexandra7185]

Good question -- it's so incredibly beautiful.

AI

There's the odd giveaway. For example, look at the leg of the table in the middle distance: it warps around the chair.

[@francislarv3012]

Wharton’ s talent , though formidable, deals mostly with the class whose dramas don’t resonate or find sympathy with most of us peasants

[@dawnriddle-knowlton9932]

There are stories such as Jacob's Room and others inspired by personal struggles, grief, etc. Which are universal human issues.

Im poorAF and I love her writing. You need to look deeper.

Those are just the circumstances. We are all humans affected in various ways.

[@granthurlburt4062]

And have you noticed how people love to watch movies with incredibly talented, strong, and physically attractive people living lives we never will? The skill and beauty and penetrating of her writing is what we value. You can read Alice Munro if you want. She writes equally and unusually well with great penetration about ordinary people in western Ontario near Lake Huron.

The reader and the art is created through artificial intelligence. This channel exclusively uses AI

[@jamesross5328]

Yes. It is good.

[@bar10ml44]

It is brilliant. Mesmerising.

[@JulieBest]

the written word of Wharton is human made art.

[@stephenperretti8847]

And your point is???

[@kathyirwin]

I usually avoid this channel for that reason. Doing an actor out of a job. And the syntax can be completely wrong. Especially W Somerset Maughams work.
