Illustrated Man which one was him strangling his wife?
Hi. I am looking for the name of the story that has the illustrated man strangle his wife. She gets mad that he got the tattoo on his back, or his chest of him killing her. He says he didn’t know…she keeps nagging and eventually he does it.
I’m pretty sure that you’re talking about the short story "The Illustrated Man" by Ray Bradbury. I read it in a collection of his short stories called The Vintage Bradbury.
As far as I can remember, the illustrated man was originally a fat man who can no longer draw crowds at a circus. So he decides to become a tattooed man. However, his tattoos are alive and tell stories. One that he had covered up on his arm? showed him strangling his wife. Once he reveals it, that picture becomes true (he strangles his wife, Lizbeth).
Hope that helps! This is all from vague memories!
