In a twist on the Oedipus complex, Prudence Crowther, in Hepatitis F repeatedly enforces the theme that being stabbed or pierced by objects results in disease. The disease after which the story is titled, Hepatitis F, remains vague and subject to debate, but the method of transmission is clear: long, sharp objects.

The author finds the incident as comical and tries to compare the event with other times when such incidences did not attract lawsuits. The plaintiff finds that the author or tattooist spelt inaccurately the words “ELSE” and wrote “ELESE” out of mere negligence. The title of the article as provided is used to illustrate a tough predicament, which is to remove or evade as evidenced by the surgical procedures that the plaintiff underwent with an aim of removing a tattoo he found offensive.

Comment of Analysis 1 – Analysis by Timothy:

Timothy’s view is precise and relevant as he compares and gives similarities of the title of the topic as it relates to the theme of the story. As he relates Hepatitis disease, which is an inflammation of the liver to the presence of a tattoo that was not, spelt accordingly. Both the tattoo and the hepatitis have the ability to cause intolerable discomfort to the bearers. In addition, his introduction gives an implicit definition of how he views the topic as pun intended with the aim of drawing in the audience to know of the “Hepatitis F” which is not a disease.

His theme could be described as sufficient and relevant because of the plaintiff and the defendant exercises some great deal of foolishness. However, on part of the defendant, it could be described as negligence because of the lack to ensure that he was doing the appropriate tattoo. In addition, his drowsiness could be an indication of the greed to make money such that he has little regard for rest. His view that the plaintiff is foolish is accurate. This is because the costs of having a rectification of the tattoo could be significantly lower than the costs of seeking legal remedies from a court of law for single letter misspelling on a tattoo. In addition, the plaintiff’s inability to reason could be simply termed as foolishness or irrationality.

In addition, as a treatable disease, hepatitis is not permanent depending on which type, which is identical to tattoos, which can be removed through laser surgery but under intense pain. Hence, his conclusion in terms of the relationship between the tattoo and the Hepatitis F is relevant as both are irritating and share a theme within the story.

Analysis 2 – Analysis by Michael Neiman

According to the second essay, the author views that the story is about the lifestyle of a biker and tattoos as well. He adds that in the tattoos business the carelessness of a tattooist might prove to be costly in terms of money and health. The motorcycle rider or “biker” as they are commonly referred to as in society lead careless lives which could eventually lead to eventual and deadly diseases such as Hepatitis. His opinion is relevant because he gives exemplary and vivid examples from a societal perspective.

His theme of underachievement could be termed as the best as it illustrates the presence of negligence, which, Joey Barstow exhibited. Hence, he could be termed as an underachiever as he has not been used to extensive work and late night schedules. His inability to configure simple words in a complex process is lack of competence by the proofreader. In addition, it is also sufficient in that the proofreader provides an irrelevant mistake for such a simple but devastating mistake in giving the tattooist the price wording on the tattoo provided by the customer.

In addition the provide reasons for the tile and the mistake are related as implied by the author of the essay. This is accurate because there does not exist Hepatitis F, only A, B and thus the proofreader could easily make an identical mistake of misspelling either Hepatitis A, B or C as he seems to exercise a great deal of negligence. Hence if he were presented with a similar task with the aim of writing the word hepatitis AB or C given the under pressure circumstances he would eventually give another Hepatitis such as F, G or any other letter. Thus, this could be termed as an exemplary definition of the inadequacy in terms of concentration to the details by the proofreader.
