Charwoman is the woman employed as domestic housekeeper in Uncle Podger's house. Charwoman's corn refers the corn in the charwoman's feet, which is the thickening or softening of the skin around the a central point in the foot caused by a friction or pressure. In the story Uncle Podger while trying to hang the picture would eventually make a mess. After that he would get down the chair and say “There you are,” (stepping heavily off the chair on to the charwoman’s corns (stepping on the charwoman's corns accidentally and not even realizing that he was steeping on her corns), and surveying the mess he had made with evident pride.
Explanation:
- We have the subject of gender roles, responsibility, inequality, control and independence in Uncle Podger Hangs a picture by Jerome K. Jerome There appears not to be anyone in the house, especially feminine who has the ability to get a picture. Not at least in the view of Podger.
- He alone is experienced in hanging photos and barking orders. This can be important because Podger assumes the role of the fixer usually associated with the man. He is stronger physically than others, and is able to hang the picture (in his eyes). However, the reader is aware that Podger is not qualified and that somebody else in the house could easily do the work.
- Regardless of the gender of an individual, but Podger doesn't think so. Jerome should stress how trapped Podger is in his way. He is far from independent of himself and relies on neighboring resources at the same time as he controls and forgets how
- It is also interesting that Podger takes no responsibility for his actions. Which in many ways may be the moral of the story
