In "The Dinner Party" by Mona Gardner tells the story of a party during English colonial rule in India. The story has as starting point the argument presented between a colonel and a woman about men and women's reaction to crisis. The colonel argues that women are too nervous to handle crisis without losing control, and a young woman who argues that they can deal with crisis without screaming. This dialogue guides the whole story, since the story sets out to prove who's right in the discussion. The theme could be considered to be gender equality, and that both men and women can handle crisis.
The plot proves this. The conflict appears when the woman who is the host in the story, sees a snake. She calmly orders a servant to set out milk to attract the cobra and save everyone from being bitten, proving that women can handle crisis. An american man realizes what she's doing and helps her out, by pretending to play a game making everyone stay still while the snake leaves the room. When everyone realizes there was a snake under the table, the american man gives credit to the hostess who actually, felt the snake in her foot and remained calm, thus proving her point in the argument. The behavior of both the hostess and the american man, prove that both men and women can remain calm and solve crisis situations.
Mona Gardner's Lunch is about a party in India where a colonel and a girl argue about how women deal with a crisis. An American naturalist attending the party observes the dispute and sees how the hostess, acting strangely, gestures to put a bowl of milk outside the door. When the cobra rushes for milk, he closes the door. He then discovers that the cobra was crawling along the owner's leg, and she had the most control in the room, proving that women can act bravely in a crisis situation.
