Eugene Pickering

Eugene is not only naive in the ways of the world, having been isolated and cosseted by his father for twenty-seven years, but he is also symbolically short-sighted. He is unable to 'see' Madam Blumenthal as the rogue female seductress. She is glamorous, experienced, bohemian, an author, and (according to Niedermeyer) something of an adventuress. What this tale represents then is yet another warning to men about the dangers of forming romantic relationships with women. Reinforcing this 'fear of engagement' element in the first part of the story is the pre-arranged contract of marriage which has been created by Pickering's father. Eugene Eugene refuses to open the letter (thinking it is a summons to the altar) and wishes to 'live' freely before he submits himself to what he clearly sees as the negative experience of Matrimony. This 'fear of marriage'
