One in three Americans live without a dad; that’s 24 million children. A good father is not one who pleases his children by giving in and allowing them to do whatever they want. A truly good father is one who is not afraid to discipline his children, but yet does it in a loving manner. When a woman is choosing the right husband, not only is she picking a man to spend the rest of her life with, she is picking a man to be the father to her children. Most importantly, a man needs to respect his wife.
Her one major decision takes place before the action of the play. She chooses to marry and emotionally support Willy Loman, a man who wanted to be great – but defined greatness as being “well liked” by others. Because of Linda’s choice, the rest of her life will be filled with disappointment. Linda believes that if her sons become successful then Willy’s fragile psyche will heal itself. She expects her sons to manifest the corporate dreams of their father – not because she believes in Willy’s version of the American Dream, but because she believes her sons (Biff in particular) are the only hope for Willy’s sanity.

In the book, Jeannette recounts her childhood memories, spent with her father, Rex. She claims them to be some of the best moments of her life, regardless of her father’s obvious irresponsibility and the destruction he brings into the lives of his children. Despite the many instances in which her father failed to protect his family, refused to take responsibility for them, and even stole from them, Jeannette manages to find her way through the darkness, continuing to love her father until his dying day for two reasons: one, for his constant ability to make her feel special, and two, because he is a never-ending source of inspiration. Jeanette expresses her thoughts and feelings through her tones and speech, as well as through her diction and writing style. Through her account of the Christmas in which her father gave his children stars for presents, Jeannette continuously portrays Rex as an intelligent and loving mentor.
Conversely, Paul’s story is actually tragic in nature. Motherly love is supposed to be unconditional and unwavering; Paul however, never seems to be loved by his mother no matter what he does. Both Emily Grierson, the southern lady and Paul the young child suffer from Oedipus complexes. Emily loved her father and refused to give up his dead body for three days after he died. She attempts to replace him with a man that is similar, her lover Homer Baron, who carries a horsewhip like her father.
With the love and compassion Vardaman has for his mother shows that he has tremendous respect for his mother. Nevertheless, Faulkner felt pity for Vardaman because he, Vardaman, couldn’t comprehend the death of his mother, so he says, “My mother is a fish.” (AILD, pg 84) On the other hand Cash, the eldest child age 28, shows pride and honor.

They are also to with relationships. These include Fry and Leela (love/liking each other) in Futurama, and in Home and Away, Cam betrays Martha – by setting fire to the pub she was locked in – and then Jack tries to get Martha back (they were together before Martha left Jack for Cam). The issues presented aren’t all the same though. Some of the different issues and differences between the issues include the facts that the episode of Home and Away was more to do with the betrayal of Martha. Cam (her ex-boyfriend) set fire to the pub she was locked in, while the particular episode of Futurama was more from Leela’s point of view.
Mr. Pontellier had an very high ego in this story from a psychoanalytical perspective. He wouldn’t let nothing stop him from being the gentlemen that he were and a great family man that everybody admired him as. Even though his very own soul mate (his wife) Edna took him through some of the most testing times because she was not a good mother or wife to her family. He still managed to be her husband and play the important father (xix) role of their kids. His wife hated the family life, she wanted to be far away and to live her dreams.
Even though he loves Edna and his sons, I don’t think he is considered as a good husband since he knows very few about Edna’s true feeling. I think this because he spends slight time with them, and leaves the family behind and goes out saying that he is always busy and has to go away for business or spends more time with his friends. As my point of view, I think it is not fair for a guy to treat a wife or his family like this and it seems like he is just a selfish person to me. Since marriage during that time of period was very harsh for women I think she was able to survive by meeting people. The time period where Edna was living was in a very strict condition for the women, especially for house wives.
