Analysis and comments on General Review of the Sex Situation by Dorothy Parker

Comment 2 of 12, added on October 27th, 2004 at 11:39 AM.

This poem reflects Dorothy Parker's ever present style. It also relays what
women everywhere see in men-women relationships. It is sad that this
writer relays in the early 1900's what is even more evident in the 21st
century.

So does anyone else read this and say: "Hey, it's Anna and Vronsky"? I
think D. Parker is saying a lot more bluntly what the perceptive authors of
all time have said through tactfully written fiction. But, of course,
those such as Tolstoy also include the "Levin and Kitty" stories that show
at least a fictional possiblity of another kind of happiness. So is that
just Tolstoy's naive fiction? or does he see possibilities that Dorothy
here couldn't find?
