Summary Mr Midas wishes for a golden touch. Mrs Midas is shocked by wish and tries to make sense of new reality. Couple attempt to deal with consequences. Mrs Midas exiles Mr Midas. Mrs Midas leaves Mr Midas. I: The poem follows a modern woman, seemingly living a normal life, however she is affected by the wish that her husband makes. Mr Midas wishes for everything that he touches to be turned to gold. Mrs Midas is shocked and upset, and tries to make sense of what is happening. She eventually cannot cope and breaks down, angry at how selfish her husband has been. The couple try and forget it and live normally, but with Midas’ golden touch, this is not possible. We witness the deterioration of their relationship as the consequences of Midas’ actions take full effect. C: Mrs Midas finds dealing with the changes difficult and sends her husband to live somewhere else. She attempts to still see him, however living with the effects of his wish is too difficult and she finally separates from him completely. Although this was the right thing to do, she still misses him, as they did once have a loving relationship. Her character has grown stronger, and she did rise above the challenges that were placed in front of her, addressing the fact that her husband was selfish and arrogant. Nevertheless, her love for Mr Midas still remains, but she powers on as strong independent woman.
