Short Stories: "TEA" by Saki

What do you think of the title of the story- TEA? Is the story really about tea , or is it tea used as a symbol for something else? If so, what? What other title would you suggest for this story?

The short story Tea, was about James Clushot-Princkley, a man who had a settled conviction that he would marry soon, and he had a lot of expectaction about that.
One day he knowed an ordinary woman, Rhoda Ellam who didn´t have everything James wanted but without reasons he asked her to marry him.
I enjoyed reading this story and i think that the name of it, is being used as a symbol to show different ways of life, once a nice rich woman and the other with straitened circumstances and a simple life. But finally the two stiles ended up in the same way. "They were sitting at the table behind dainty porcelain, while they were drinking TEA."

this story is bad because it doesn´t exist a woman that can do something .... for me tea is a simbol of nothing

In my opinion, the story is good. Not the best, but good. despite what others said, the ending hold the meaning if the story. It `shwos that no matter how a person tries to do something that is not accepted by the whole society, he/she will change to be traditional, just like what the society wants. Also, the title is very significant, because tea is not special for one nation. Tea is international and everybody drinks tea.

I like the story, i believe that it talks about high society customs and tea is one the symbols the writer uses to show this.
