First Reflection: “A use of force”

In class we were reading and discussing the short story “A use of force” from Carlos Williams. It was about a doctor’s anecdote in which he have to use force to can attend a girl. It was almost a violent situation against a girl that was sick and scared and she did not obey his instructions for check and help her. An important point in the story is when the narrator mentioned that when he used his force against the girl, when he reacted violent against her, he feel pleasured about did it. It makes us think about what is really the message that the author is trying to give us. If I eliminate the phrase that I mentioned before, when the narrator said he feel pleasure, I could deduce that the most important message that the author is showing is that sometimes, in some specials situations, it is really necessary to use force and violence, that in some cases that is the only way to solve the things. But some details of the story also make me think that the message go in another line, and it is that some violent reactions that we have can make us feel better and get out frustrations that we have inside. That can be the reason because he said he feel pleasured we he react violent against the girl, because he was trying to convince her in many ways and she did not respond and it does that he were accumulating frustration, desperation and anger, that he took out with violent or force reactions and expressions.
