A Look into Criticism on Wharton’s "Roman Fever" Edith Wharton’s work Roman Fever has been interpreted in many ways, from a casual comedy to an interpretation of women’s behavior. However, this work is deserving of critical analysis that provides a conclusion much more significant than the work being referred to as a comedy. Wharton writes in a way that intrigues the reader until the very last line, progressing her writing to a surprising ending. Both Alice Hall Petry and Jamil S. Selina write of how Wharton does this by using knitting as a symbol. Petry’s analysis of knitting throughout the work explains the knitting as a way to represent the main characters’ personalities. While Selina has a similar approach, her explanation focuses more on the knitting as a representation of the past and present. Petry’s take on the use of knitting in the work is much more convincing and well-executed than Selina’s. Throughout "A Twist of Crimson Silk: Edith Wharton’s 'Roman Fever,'" Petry writes on the significance of knitting throughout Wharton’s work. She explains how the first mentioning of knitting sets a task for the rest of the work. At the beginning of Roman Fever, the two women’s daughters leave them and mock them as they walk away saying, "let’s leave the young things to their knitting" (Wharton 513). Petry explains this mocking as a way to describe the women as "physically, emotionally, and intellectually capable of nothing more than the traditionally passive, repetitive and undemanding task of knitting" (163). In Wharton’s doing this, she leads the audience to believe the ladies are "stereotypical matrons" so that the rest of the work can lead to eliminating this stereotype by bringing light to the surprising connections the women have to each other (Petry 163). Petry goes on to show how Grace’s knitting serves as a representation of her in her situation, and how Alida’s lack of knitting serves to establish her as a contrasting, more dominant role in the story. When Grace pulls her knitting out of her bag, she does so "half-guiltily" (Wharton 513). This shows she is much less confident in herself than Alida, as she shows some embarrassment in her knitting. However, the crimson silk she is knitting with suggests her sensuality and intensity that make her interaction with Delphin many years ago seem more characteristic of her (Petry 164). Petry furthers the significance of knitting by highlighting how it resembles the mental state of the characters. Alida makes a comment that Rome is "so full of old memories." Petry notes that Grace’s response to this is to begin knitting again as she is now nervously thinking about meeting with Delphin some years ago while, on the other hand, Alida remains still, asserting her current dominance in their conversation (164). At the end of the work, the tables turn between the women. Grace reveals that she not only met with Delphin that night, but she had slept with him as well, and her daughter, Barbara, is his child (Wharton 521). At this moment, Grace is established as the dominant person in the situation. She is no longer knitting—she stands and leaves the terrace without grabbing her materials. The role reversal is seen when Alida picks up her bag, possibly to begin knitting (Petry 166). At this point, the two women have entirely switched roles of dominance in the situation. Petry makes a convincing argument that this role reversal and character progression throughout Roman Fever are executed so carefully through the use of knitting by Wharton. In "Wharton’s 'Roman Fever,'" Jamil Selina takes a quite different approach in explaining the significance of knitting throughout the story. She views the knitting as a symbol of the past and present. She makes note of the introduction of Grace’s knitting materials as a symbol of this. She says that Grace’s pulling the silk out of her bag is like "bringing the delicate thread out of the past into the present or bringing the present into the past" (Selina). Selina views this action as a way of bringing the night the ladies had in Rome years ago into their present day in Rome. She goes on to say that Grace is not interested in "savoring the present moments, nor…remembering moments of the past" (Selina). She backs this statement by explaining that her using knitting is as a comforting action so that she does not have to think of these past or present events and as a way of resisting "forging the link between the present and the past with Alida" (Selina). In Wharton’s work, Selina mistakenly believes that Grace slips a stitch while knitting at one point toward the end, when the conversation between her and Alida is very tense. Selina explains this moment as Grace failing to close the gap "between herself and Alida—so she skips from the emblematic needle of the past to that of the present without stitching the past with the present" (Selina). Here, Selina is once more emphasizing the implication of past and present behind Grace’s knitting. By Grace "slipping a stitch," she now has to face the truth of the past and present with Alida. Selina provides an interesting take on Wharton’s use of knitting in the story, explaining how the knitting resembles Grace’s wanting to ignore the past and the present rather than face it. Unfortunately, there is not much evidence to support her theory. Both of these articles provide interesting interpretations of Wharton’s use of knitting as a symbol throughout Roman Fever. While these interpretations are quite different, some similarities lie in these critical articles. For example, both Petry and Selina refer to the yarn as a symbol of Grace’s sensuality she once showed with Delphin. They also both refer to Grace’s knitting as a way for her to hide from the situation. The two articles differ very much in their interpretation of the yarn as a symbol throughout the work as a whole. This can be seen quite blatantly in the two authors’ interpretations of the ending of Roman Fever. Petry explains the ending as Grace finally becoming the more dominant character in the story. Once she drops her bag, she is no longer associated with knitting (Petry 166). After this, Alida picks up her bag, likely to begin knitting according to Petry. Selina interprets this entirely differently. She does not take note of Alida picking up the bag and what that could imply. She simply sees that Grace dropping the bag is symbolic of her letting go of her guilty past and that Grace alone is associated with knitting. I think that both articles have merit to some degree. They certainly do not contradict each other so much that one can be true and the other must be false. I believe that Petry provides a solid argument with textual backing, whereas Selina’s argument is based on over-observing Roman Fever and is not developed well enough to be deemed plausible. I find that Selina is quite wrong in her interpretation of knitting throughout Roman Fever. In fact, there are several things in Wharton’s work that seem to prove Selina’s points wrong or at least call them into question. The main theme that Selina is trying to prove is that the knitting is Grace’s way of trying to ignore the past and present and not bring them up. However, she acknowledges that Grace pulling the yarn out of her bag is a way of her "bringing the past into the present" (Selina). If it is true that Grace is trying to ignore the past, why would she bring the sensually crimson yarn out in the first place? Wharton writes that she pulls it out "half-guiltily" (513). This wording shows that Grace knew exactly what she was doing in pulling out the yarn, and it is not that she was trying to hide from the past. She pulled it out half-guiltily because it did represent the sultry night shared between her and Delphin years ago, and it does not seem that she is trying to hide it in this moment in any way. Wharton later writes that Grace "ceased to fidget with her bag, and she too sank into meditation" (516). Selina brings this up and says that though she is not knitting, she is resisting "forging the link between the present and the past with Alida" (Selina). This, once again, is contradictory to her theme that knitting is Grace’s way of hiding from the past. At this moment, as Grace is no longer knitting, she is likely thinking of the past times she spent in Rome—in particular, her times with Alida and Delphin. So she is not resisting connecting the past and present with Alida in this moment. While she is not blatantly speaking of the past, she is thinking of it, therefore showing that she is not trying to hide from the past through her knitting. Further down on page 516, Grace reaches a delicate part in her knitting. Alida had just asked her a question about their mothers having to work hard to try and keep them in from the cold years ago and, in response, Grace notes the slip stitch she is trying to knit and then answers that, "yes, they must have been" (Wharton 516). Selina says that Grace’s "slipped stitch" is symbolic of her failing to "close the gap between herself and Alida." Selina is quite wrong here. The slipping referred to by Wharton is not Grace missing a stitch at all. In fact, a slip stitch is a particular method of knitting, not Grace making a mistake. This particular point of Selina’s is ruined because she based it on something that is not even true in Wharton’s work. I find Selina’s interpretation to be an example of reading too much into the work. Not only is there evidence against Selina’s points in Roman Fever, there are plenty more examples of evidence against her theme in general as well. On page 517, Wharton writes that, "Mrs. Ansley’s hands lay inert across her needles." She does this in response to Alida complimenting her daughter, whose father is Delphin. If Grace used her knitting as a way to hide from the past, now would be the time for her to knit. Rather than knitting to ignore the past, she sits with her hands still. On page 518, the women discuss Grace’s Aunt Harriet and how she lured a woman out in the cold because she was in love with the woman’s fiancé (Wharton). Rather than avoiding the story, Grace willingly explains it again to Alida, even though she knows she herself once went out in the cold to meet with Alida’s fiancé. Later on page 518, Alida reveals that she knows why Grace got sick—because she was meeting her fiancé (Wharton). In response, Grace’s knitting falls to the ground in a "panic-stricken heap" (Wharton 518). The knitting dropping in this moment is not symbolic of her finally facing the past. She stood up and her knitting fell simply because she was shocked that Alida knew about that night all this time. Roman Fever is full of evidence that shows the knitting does not serve as a way for Grace to hide from the past. In Roman Fever, Edith Wharton uses knitting as a symbol throughout her work. It symbolizes Grace’s personality and her mental state in the story, as Petry argues. It does not represent Grace trying to ignore the past, as Selina states. There are numerous examples in the work that demonstrate this latter interpretation of knitting as a symbol is unconvincing.
