The “Quality” is a short story written by John Galsworthy. The story is narrated from the first person point of view. The story tells the life of a shoe maker Gessler Brothers. It also shows the effect of industrialism on small business.
Gessler brothers are German shoe maker and they are living in London. They own small shop and they are making best quality shoes on orders. Our narrator is regular customer of Gessler shop. The quality of shoes are so good that after one order one has not to visit it again for long time. Narrator goes to the shop and every time he orders shoes. Once narrator says to Mr. Gessler that the shoe has a crack at that time Mr. Gessler askes to bring it back he will fix it and if he can not than he will return the money. Once when narrator visits the shop the elder brother has died and younger Mr. Gessler was at the shop. After that narrator has ordered many pairs of shoes. After receiving the order he does not need to visit the shop for some period of time. Next time when he goes he again order many pairs of shoes. After receiving the order once he was passing by that road and decided to visit Mr. Gessler and to tell him that shoes were very nice. But when he reaches there he see some other English man, who informs narrator that Mr. Gessler has died because of starvation. All money he earned was gone in buying row materials for shoes and in paying rent.
Till the end Mr. Gessler has tried to focus on quality only. Once there was talk between narrator and Mr. Gessler that how those big industries of shoe making harm their business. Mr. Gessler was complaining that those big company don’t has quality they just have quantity and different design through which they attracts the costumers. Those company was harming the business of Mr. Gessler.
Here we can see the other side of the coin. We always praise quality but here we come to know that how quality has harmed Mr. Gessler. It was the quality which he wants to keep till the end and because of that he has no money left for his food. Here the quality of shoes has harmed Mr. Gessler.
