In the story “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” by James Thurber is about a man named Walter Mitty,who drifts into fantasies a lot because he is just ordinary in reality with a nagging wife who loves him very much. In the fantasies, he is the hero,fearless,brave,respected and extraordinary.

Mitty is a nagging wife,and not many would agree that Mrs. Mitty is a loving and caring wife. One day, Mrs. Mitty told Walter to put on his gloves because was a cold day,but he did not put on his gloves on like she asked him to do. After an encounter with a police officer,Walter quickly realizes that it is cold outside,and needs to put gloves on. This quote represents what has happened,“Walter Mitty reached in a pocket and brought out the gloves.He put them on,but after she had turned and gone into the building and he had driven onto a red light,he took them off again. ‘Pick it up,brother!’snapped a cop as the light changed,and Mitty hastily pulled on his gloves and lurched ahead”(Thurber 3). This quote shows that Walter just ignored his wife’s advice,and realizes after an encounter of the police officer to put on his gloves. I think the majority of the people that say this are wrong because Walter Mitty is an unaware person because he is busy daydreaming and not paying attention,and Mrs.Mitty is a loving and caring wife ,who looks out for her husband, instead of this nagging wife that most people think of
