Over the years she grows bitter and spiteful against him. Robert doesnt seem to watch he has made her wait for 20 years and becomes angry when he finds out she spent the money.Hes also shown to take very unsound risks just to find out how the funds are working out He isnt sure of the outcome of the experiment and displays no hesitation when he kills his wife, thinking he will travel back in time before he could do that. However his plan backfires and hes killed by his future self. Rating entrust the short story a grade from 1-5 and motivate the grade, why was it good or bad? Id give this story a rating of three. It isnt badly written, but the story isnt very engaging.The author could have described in more enlarge the feelings of the wife, or went more in-depth with Robert and the description of his character and motivations.
