Abstract or Introduction
“Love in Cornhusk” is a short story written by Aida L. Rivera-ford. She is a Filipina writer whose masterpiece delineates local colors and old identities. Short story as one of the genres in literature refers to a short work of fiction (Klarer 12).
Aida’s work recounted the story of Tinang who came to visit Señora. She, on the other hand, was troubled by his past romantic attachments with Amado. Senora told her about the letter in the post office. Along with her child, they left thereafter. While reading the letter and situating herself on a cornhusk, a serpent came in unexpectedly. The story concluded after she dropped the letter unconsciously as she maneuvered to secure her child (Rivera-ford 58-64). Throughout the narrative, she found herself congested with her past amorous relationship. However, she came to realize that her spiteful memory must be buried in the past. This story adhered in the illusion of the character’s intimate feelings. Grow asserts that parting and abandonment depict the thematic development in the story (42-45).
