How much sympathy do you have for the woman in Tony Kytes arch :: English Literature

How overmuch sympathy do you concord for the woman in Tony Kytes archdeceiver and Tickets please ?In this essay I am going to argue about how much sympathy I have forwoman in the 2 stories that I have studied. The two stories I havestudied are Tony Kytes arch-deceiver and Tickets please.Tony Kytes arch deceiver was set at the end of the nineteenthcentury in a rural community which seems unmoved by the IndustrialRevolution, remaining traditional in both the way of life and theattitudes of the people.
