George gave a little chuckle, but was I mistaken in thinking that there was in it the shadow of a sob? But that's easier said than done. Of course I know she wants a holiday, and I'm glad she should have it, but it's devilish hard on a chap.

Mabel, a short story by William Somerset Maugham

In Mabel by W. Somerset Maugham we have the theme of determination, despair, fear, appearance, devotion, escape, love, responsibility and struggle. Taken from his Collected Short Stories collection the story is narrated in the first person by an unnamed narrator and after reading the story the reader realises that Maugham may be exploring the theme of determination. Nothing stops Mabel from locating or finding where George is. It is as though she is determined to go through with the marriage despite it being clear to the reader that George is in a state of despair. Fearful of how Mabel may have changed over the last seven years since he last saw her. Which some critics might suggest is not the best of foundations for a happy marriage.
