In “When in Rome,” by Mari Evans, the two speakers are represented to be in a master to servant or equally proportionate relationship that would afford the admittance of authority onto the younger or less powerful. This bondage is made manifest in evidence of each respective tone and grammatical structure. The title “When in Rome” alludes to the epigram, “When in Rome, act as the Romans do.” This title sets the weighing of each speaker, wherein the first speaker, by literal position and power, states, “Mattie dear/ the box is full/ take whatever you like/ to eat.” With this guidance carries an instructive nature and more mature grammatical structure in comparison to the response, expressed as a thought in parentheses: “(an egg/ or soup/ … there ain’t any meat.)” Tying with the ingratuitous tone and the use of the incorrect “ain’t,” the second speaker reveals of him/her either the current discomfort of position or the child-like proclivities to be followed in the three structure-similar resolves.
