 NovelGuide: Ethan Frome: Essay Q&A
She believes that the novel has as strong a moral message as the fairy tales from which it drew inspiration, and that it is a message of social criticism.
She explains the moral as follows: "as long as women are kept isolated and dependent, Mattie Silvers will become Zeena Fromes: frigid crippled wrecks of human beings." She says that Wharton’s decision to cripple Mattie but not to let her die reflects not the author's cruelty, but the culture's.
Ethan Frome reflects rather than inverts one particular fairy tale tradition, which we could call ‘the malevolent benefactor’, in which a wicked fairy or witch grants one’s wishes, but the outcome turns out to be a curse rather than a blessing.

 Ethan Frome Summary & Essays - Edith Wharton
Critics have called Ethan Frome the most carefully constructed of Edith Wharton's novels, and have praised the economy of its language and its intensity.
Later critics were even harsher in their evaluations, citing numerous inconsistencies and debating whether Ethan Frome himself is truly tragic or simply morally inert.
All the same, this study in frustration, loneliness, and moral responsibility became a popular favorite, somewhat to the surprise of its author, and is frequently taught at the high school and college level.
