S3 E7 Aunt Agatha's Husband Story


Listen Later

Greetings to your Ears and Eyes,

Warning, there are a handful of deaths referenced in this work. Natural deaths due to old age, as well as unfortunate circumstances, but death nonetheless.

Here is a story that breaks from the orthodox tradition of presenting cause and effect morality, and instead shifts the morals further into the background for a more personal interpretation. What morals did you pick up in your listening of this story? How outdated is this story? Does the conclusion make up for the less scrupulous phrases and ideologies used throughout? How rattled were you by the deaths and post-mortem scenarios we witnessed in this story? Leave a comment, Tweet, or send us an email to respond to these questions.

In this story, another “one of the grandchildren” narrates the events to us as a telling of their life, their own experiences of another’s life, the story of returning home to learn of life in their absence, and the telling of what was learned of the end of Aunt Agatha’s Husband. It is another story where the ghosts of the past lurk around and the characters must appease them, or in some cases accept them and allow them to move on. Since the narrator is a witness, the protagonist is more of a surprise rather than the one one might expect.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Owen and Kari
