“A jealous Husband return in From of Parrot” is one of butler story that I found really Hilarious. The whole idea about this story is this woman is unable to be relied on by her husband who later becomes a parrot just crack me up. Butler does a wonderful job with the humor in this short piece and using techniques like allowing the reader to detect what is going on without to much of the parrot revealing what happened in the previous life. The parrot talks to his wife once she has brought him home and the words that he does say in his little mind are only small words that he expresses what he is really feeling and considering as he is unable to fully communicates with her. On a deeper level I think that this story really touches on the power of the slightest words in revealing an huge amount of information about a character. This character, being a hilarious little mistrustful parrot, while a parrot he has a sense about what his wife was now doing right under his little beak and he talks about having the words in mind but not being able to conduct what he was feeling and thinking to make some sense of it.
As demonstrated in Burroway, character can be viewed in many different ways, The way in which Butler chose to allow the reader to become more and more interested in the jealous life that were valid to his current situation as a bird. Although this story had a little amount of dialog from the characters we were able to see feeling in situations that the bird was experiencing. Such as when he saw his nude wife and her lover (to whom he referred “cracker”) we as the reader are able to the funniness of the bird and in him being resentful bird of his past wife.
