The short story “You are now entering the human
heart”, written by New Zealand author Janet Frame is a
macabre tale of an elderly schoolteacher who permits a harmless snake to be
wrapped around her neck in order to demonstrate to her class that there is no
reason for fear. As she sits, trying to overcome her revulsion for the sake of
impressing her class, the reader sees into her inner world, her heart.
