CHAPTER:THE GIFT OF THE MAGI 

Q: Why does O.Henry call Della and Jim "the magi"?
ANSWER: The Magi were the three wise men who carried gifts to the infant Jesus upon his birth; their blessings mirrored the insight they had and furthermore the significance of the birth of child Jesus. God gave us his only child, in a definitive demonstration of sacrifice. O.Henry is attempting to demonstrate that the greatest demonstrations of adoration and love originate from a position of selflessness, and in giving our gifts to one another. Della and Jim were relinquishing something significant of themselves so as to make the other happy. They also understood how love was the best blessing that they could give one another. This is the reason O.Henry compares them to the magi.

Q: What did Jim's unusual expression at the door indicate?
Answer: When Della opened the front door for Jim, his demeanour solidified for a minute. He gazed at her rather steadily and appeared to be not able to move his eyes from her. Despite the fact that the expression changed, Della saw it, however couldn't understand what it implied or where it came from. Jim's appearance was really one of shocks, and most likely a little overwhelmed also. He was not anticipating that his wife should appear to him with short hair. This would be an surprise on any day of the quick, yet since he had sold his prized watch so as to get her a pair of ornamental combs for Christmas, seeing that she was not going to have the option to use them for quite a while was confusing to say the least. Almost certainly, Jim did not understand what his expression resembled, he was too shocked to even think about hiding it from his wife.

Q: Why did they sell their beautiful valuable things?
Answer: They were so poor that they couldn't purchase gifts to celebrate Christmas. They were in a vulnerable condition.
