Wharton cannot identify with the idea of a male or with the social classes represented by the characters, she adopts a different method. Wharton comes from a wealthy and conservative class. Some may argue that his attempt to identify with a lower class person is deceptive and rare. She cannot associate or identify her role through a social class or male perspective due to her foreignness. Wharton uses different characters, especially the narrator because it allows the frame of the story to describe the characters. It may seem like it comes from the narrator, when in reality it comes from Wharton. Wharton is not only aware of the absence in the understanding of social class, but she also lacks the inability to write about gender
