Description
Throughout Three Lives, in which "The Good Anna" appears, Gertrude Stein explores the heterosexual and lesbian relationships of three common women, Anna, Melanctha, and Lena. In her attempts to capture the thoughts and consciousness of these women, Stein uses a number of stylistic innovations that contributed significantly to the development of modernism, influencing such writers as Ernest Hemingway. In "The Good Anna," for example, Stein employs inverted grammatical patterns, repetition, and simple language to characterize Anna, the protagonist, as a stubborn, matter-of-fact, hardworking German immigrant. At the same time, the ironic and understated narration, which creates a humor that is often incongruous with the story's events, suggests some of Stein's larger social criticisms.
