The significance of the title ‘The Romance of a Busy Broker’
The romance of a busy broker is a short story by O Henry.
The main character in the story is a busy Manhattan broker, Maxwell. He is so busy with his work that he keeps forgetting things.
His forgetfulness goes to the extreme, when he proposes his love to his stenographer Miss. Leslie and requests her hand in marriage forgetting that he has married her the previous night.
The title is well suited to the story as the plot is centered on the main character and his romance. The word 'busy' in the title synchronizes with the forgetfulness of Maxwell as a result of his heavy work.
Hope this helps.
