How Is Washington Irving's Portrayal Of Dame Van Winkle Fair
In “Rip Van Winkle” by Washington Irving, Irving's portrayal of Dame Van Winkle is not fair because Rip helps everyone except Dame, Rip always avoids being around her, and Rip is very lazy. In the story Rip will help everyone except Dame. Rip would help other people with tasks such as go shopping for them because they would thank him and make him feel good. He would also just do things for people to avoid doing work and helping her around the house so she would get mad at him. Rip would avoid Dame at all costs in the story. Rip would go hunting or hang out at the hotel with the other guys to avoid her. He would also do things for other people and get away from town when he could to keep from get a very “angry reminder” to do his work form
