“The Gift of the Magi” 오경환 손재민 최상은 황수정 가지희

Author : William Sydney Porter ♦ Born : Greensboro, North Carolina ♦ Died : (aged 47) - New York City, New York ♦ Pen name : O. Henry, Olivier Henry, Oliver Henry ♦ Nationality : American ♦ Occupation : Writer ♦ O. Henry's short stories's feature : wit, wordplay, warm characterization, clever twist endings

Setting A Drab Flat - The house of Della and Jim alluding their poverty A Gray City - The background that shows callousness and hardship of the modern life

Setting Christmas - Timely Setting including grateful hearts that people share with reciprocal ones. Point of view - An omniscient viewpoint is the main view of this work, which makes an author clairvoyant through inner sides of characters and timely and spatial backgrounds.

Summary

Themes and Symbols Symbols - Magi : The plural of the magus which means a priest and sage is its technical form and also it indicates the characters of bible related with birth of Jesus, that is christmas. That symbolizes humanism and value of spiritual regards contrasted with materialism. John's clock and Della's hair sacrificed to their own gifts are very it.

- Biblical devices : Timely setting is christmas and the title and some characters in work borrowed biblical elements, Sheba and Solomon symbolizing vain beauty and wisdom. They make a contribution to contrast the priceless gifts embedded in conjugal love, furthermore "agape" and value of sacrifice.

Theme Despite their worthless in a practical view, their gift is worthy of taking note of their own values. For they symbolize pure humanism and inner things to reciprocal consideration that penetrate value of humanity and it is just a theme of the work.

Vocabulary beggar: a person who lives by asking people for money or food. mortal: that cannot live for ever and must die. depreciate: to become less valuable over a period of time. ripple: a thing that looks or moves like a small wave.
