The choosing of a husband is Bessie biggest conflict with her father. Reb Smolinsky, her father, commented several times as to how she is too old for anyone to want to marry and will end up an old maid. Her father chooses a husband who is much older than she and whom she has no interest. Bessie pleads for her father not to do this and angrily he shouts, “So this is the thanks for all I’ve done for you? This is how you thank me for getting you a man when you’re such a dried-up old maid that no one want to give a look on you.” Giving in to the demands of her father, Bessie marries Zalmon, the fish market owner, and raises his children.
He later says how "I was not enthusiastic about his visit.... A blind man in my house was not something I looked forward to” (100). Upon the arrival of his wife’s friend, the husband is ultimately uncomfortable around Robert because he does not know how to communicate with or act around him. His discomfort is revealed when Robert and his wife were sharing their experiences “about the major things that had come to pass for them in the past ten years” (100). He felt it was necessary to join in because he thought Robert would “think [he] left the room and didn’t want [his wife] to think [he] was feeling left out” (103). It is obvious the husband is overly involved with Robert’s handicap and fails to see him as a person with his
The simplest form of guilt in Maus is Art's guilt over the fact that he thinks he has not been a good son to his father. Right from the first panel of Book I, we are told that the two of them do not get along particularly well, and that they do not see each other often, though they live fairly close by. Art is always on edge around his father, and when they speak it feels as if an argument could break out at any moment. Indeed, arguments often do break out over, for example, Art's dropping cigarette ash on the carpet, or Vladek's revelation that he has burned Anja's diaries from the war. Vladek often asks his son for help with errands around the house, and Art is always loath to comply.
We find out that Carter’s mother’s obesity has affected him his whole life. He would be extremely embarrassed to do the typical things that a child and mother do like walk together in the mall, attend school events, and go food shopping. Basically Carter did not want to be seen out of the house with his mother due to her weight. Other than her weight being an issue and embarrassing, Carter was afraid of people and their views on his mother and him. Carter knew people would be talking about them and say things such as, “Look how fat the mother is, I hope the kid does not grow up to be that whale one day.” Ultimately, Carter’s self esteem became very high when he grew up and this led him to become a judgmental person.
In the Maus A Survivors Tale, it starts off with Art and his wife getting a call from Vladek, asking them to come to his house because Mala left him and took his money. So Art and his wife decide to go there for the weekend. On the way there Art talks about how he wished he would have been in the holocaust with his dad so he could experience what he did and understand why his dad is the way he is. He also told his wife that he never feels like he’s good enough for his dad because he didn’t go through what his dad went through and he is always messing up in his dad’s eyes. This is important to the story, but for now I’ll get back to explaining my part of the story.
This truthfulness however lands her in a bad place as she is disowned by her father for not professing her love. Gonerill and Regan are the complete opposite here as they show dishonesty in lying about how much each of them loves their father. As soon as their father has given them their share of inheritance they become ungrateful and no longer care for their father. ‘And in good time you gave it.’ Here Regan tells Lear that he took his time
Since the day Amir is born, he feels that his father dislikes him. While his mother gave birth, Amir continually felt as though he had to fix the ruining of his father’s life of love with Sofia. After all, they did not have much similarity, leading to a problem; Amir really had nothing to do that could affect Baba since they have nothing similar. Baba was more energetic, confident, and big on taking risks whereas Amir is not. The differences between the father and son are so abundant that Baba emphasizes, “If I hadn’t seen the doctor pull him out of my wife with my own eyes, I’d not believe he’s my son” (Hossieni 25).
Walter Lee is unhappy with his job, his salary, and feels like there is so much more he could do if only someone would give him a chance. He wants to be successful and live the American dream, but feels as though no one will believe in him. This also makes him feel alienated from his family, because they don’t even believe in him. He just wants to be taken seriously but nobody does. This also undermines his masculinity, because the rest of the adults in his family which are all women don’t take
Theatre Appreciation A Raisin in the Sun A Raisin in the Sun is the monologue that my partner and I decided to perform for our final project. The play is about a young man named Walter Lee Younger who is the head of a family of four, with a lot of dreams, goals, and ambitions to be a successful black man in the time of segregation and racism. Walter Lee Younger is in his middle thirties; his wife’s name is Ruth, his sons name is Travis, brother of Beneatha, and son of Lena (Mama) Younger. Walter is employed as a chauffeur and sometimes gets drunk more than a married man with children should. When he figures out that his mother will receive a ten thousand dollar check from his father's insurance, his dreams and ambitions in life becomes possible for Walter and he becomes passionate about his business opportunities that will allow him to provide for his family and be the man that they need him to be, making him more worthy as a man.
I have tried to encourage her to talk to them, but she just feels that they will not support her. If her parents would approach her from a calm and non-combative manner she would probably feel that she can talk to them, but they don’t. The cycle of arguing just continues and she is going to the wrong people for advice. I feel that her parents want the best for her and love her, but are frustrated and screaming is all they know how to do. However if parents had went to a community
