Men and women are born as two different types of species. They have different responses and attitudes in many ways. The difference between men and women in Dorothy Parker's "A Well-Worn Story" is portrayed through the attitudes of the man and the girl towards their relationship, the girl is passionate and zealous about this relationship, while the man is lukewarm and passionless. First, this essay will look at the girl's attitude towards this relationship, then it will demonstrate what the man's attitude is towards this relationship. The lover's attitude towards the relationship is enthusiastic and confident. Her cool attitude and passion are the fundamental key to her positive attitude, which is one of the aspects that shows the difference between men and women. In the first stanza, second line, "[m]y one love" indicates that this relationship may be the girl's first relationship. The relationship is a new and fresh thing for the girl, she is not aware of it. However, the first relationship is very important for most girls, she wants this relationship to be beautiful and happy. There is another idea of ​​"One", "one" could also suggest the meaning of "only", which reveals that the girl is naive and innocent because she is willing to believe that this relationship will be her only relationship while the fact is more first relationships won't necessarily last forever. In line 3, the girl "ran the slope of a high hill", "ran" shows that the girl is full of passion and can't wait to get to the top of the high hill. It is because she has never experimented before, but she is eager to try, to experiment, the girl wants to know more about the relationship. So he will rush to start this relationship. R...... middle of paper...... in the last line of this stanza, the man's voice is compared to "terrible silver hands". Terrible, a strong emotion, shows the girl's fear of the man's merciless voice. Silver, as a kind of metal, is attractive, precious but cold. The man is attractive to the girl, the girl loves him. However, the man's attitude towards the girl is cold and different. That is why the voice of man here will be compared to the "silver hand". Above all, the man's attitude towards this relationship is cold, lukewarm and safe. In summary, the man's attitude towards this relationship is cold and indifferent, which is the opposite of the girl's enthusiasm. Both are certain of this relationship, but the girl is positively certain, the man negatively. And this is how Dorothy Parker depicted the difference between men and women in the poem “A Well-Worn Story".'.
