"A Sexless Wife Finds Pleasures" The narrator tells us that this scene is about a "sexless wife" who finds "pleasures" in her life. She's tired, she says, and she's going to take a bath. The narrator doesn't want us to think that this is a sexy scene, because it's not. Instead, he wants us to imagine that she finds pleasure in being a sexless woman. He tells her that she can have sex anytime she wants, but she can't have sex without a job. She says that she takes care of the house every day, and that's why she can be tired. She tells the narrator that she works every day so that she'll be able to "calm down" and not have to shout at the top of her lungs when she gets home.
