Hands: Psychological

Homosexuality has always been one of the focal points in every discussion in any sector. Some find it gross but as time passes by, it continues to grow on people, opening a big space in their hearts for total acceptance. However, classically, everything on homosexuality was not as smooth-sailing as now.

"Hands", a story written by Sherwood Anderson, focuses on the concept of same-sex relationship. Wing Biddlebaum, a teacher, who happened to be old and helpless is the main character in the story. Psychologically, he illicit numerous sexual impulses--his innocent caress to his students for example. It only shows that he is longing or yearning for a relationship with the same sex which pushes him to use his students as the output of this unstoppable desire.
