Examine how the setting and characterization build the theme in "the gift of the magi."

The setting in "The Gift of the Magi" help build the theme of the story. For instance, in the beginning, when the woman (srry I forgot her name, just write it in) was in her apartment, wondering what to get Jim, it helped by leading [insert woman's name] to selling her hair to buy Jim a gift. The characterization also helped develop the theme to this classic story. [Insert woman's name] was very desperate to find her beloved Jim a gift. She was so desperate that she sold her own hair, which was her most treasured possesion. Jim also sacrificed his watch in order to buy [insert woman's name] something for Christmas. (That's all I could help you with at the moment...good luck!)
