Burge McCall was a fat and unattractive man. Mr. McCall had a peculiar personality, since he constantly wanted to be in the focus of his wife's attention. He was very ungenerous with his wife, but very openhanded with other women. He barely had any respect for his wife, since teasing her was a conventional thing he did towards her.
Mrs. McCall was tall thin woman with black smoothed hair parted in the middle. The town’s people never used to call Mrs. McCall by her first name- Venita, since she wasn’t a very friendly person. Even though her husband treated her violently, she remained tranquil, didn't even try to restore her lost respect. She only looked at him with her big black eyes.
At the beginning of the story the reader can hardly see any positive aspect in the relationship between the two. Mr. McCall expressed his hatred towards his wife by using physical and verbal violence against her. Mrs. McCall would only look at him with her big black eyes. One day Mrs. McCall called her husband a big rat after he slapped her on the face. This was when Mrs. McCall knew she had to take action and avenge him for his behavior.
The turning point in the story happens when Mrs. McCall makes her husband think she is going to poison him for his cruel behavior. Her shrewd plan changes the couple’s marriage life significantly- Burge McCall’s stinginess is replaced with incredible generosity. He begins taking her to movies and picnics and once he even buys her an extraordinary sealskin coat. Moreover, Mr. McCall stops treating his wife vulgarly, and begin showing her love and kindness.
The story teaches us a lesson about relationships. The story describes a relationship between a bad husband and a patient wife. The wife is forced to tolerate her husband's violence, until one day she decides to take action. I believe this story may help women with marriage problems to stop being passive and begin takin
g action to make their lives happier.

"Burge McCall, you are a big rat" In spite of your grammatical problem, this is a great essay.
