With nobody to tell him otherwise, Cole convinces himself that neither of his parents want him. Cole is always angry and irritated as a result of his bottled up emotions, but after he is sent to the island, he learns to release his anger by preforming physical disciplines. The first physical discipline Cole preforms while inhabiting the island is dancing out his feelings. When Edwin and Garvey introduce Cole to this new way of releasing his anger, Cole is skeptical (pg.167). In Cole’s eyes, dancing and prancing around a fire is stupid and embarrassing, but gradually, his attitude towards this exercise changes.

shows where the husband goes out to work and is the main bread winner and the wife stayed home doing chores because they didn’t have much education and in reality they did not need one as they were being taken care however, the change of labor and childbearing in the late 1970’s undermined the institutionalized basis of marriage (402).

The Great Depression and World War II changed the meaning of marriage in the 20th century (403). It was now known as companionate marriage, where basically they were more romantically involved.

For example they call their mothers ‘mater’, the Latin word for ‘mother’. Betjeman does not really remember why Percival wants to fight him but he makes it quite clear that the perfect boy is trying to defend somebody who has been treated very badly by the poet. Being a coward deep down and remembering past experiences when he had been badly beaten. J.B. finds it very hard to settle down to a good’s night sleep the night before the fight.

Kay argues that Othello is a very self-absorbed man who seeks petty and reassurance in others because of the way he was raised by his mother and the challenges he encountered growing up. Instead of Othello being raised with a close bond to his mother, ensuring high self-confidence and an easier upbringing. Kay argues that Othello didn't have a close relationship with his mother (developed as an infant), which leads to “seeking substitute emotional mirrors for the remainder of his life.” While Kay is correct and justified in stating that Othello is incredibly self-centered and is seeking merely petty by gathering an audience, she is not accurate in her attempts stating that it was caused by his upbringing and lack of a close relationship with his mother. The sources used were printed between 1932-1980 (keeping in mind that this essay was written in 1983), and are completely outdated. And to say that he is in emotional distress is a complete opinion regardless on how many doctors give the diagnosis.
A key similarity in both “Once Were Warriors” and “In the rubbish tin” is the parent/child and alcohol abuse between various characters in the film (Once were Warriors) and the short story (In the Rubbish Tin).

He has a habit of showing his love for her with his fists; as it is the only way he knows how to express his love. The family environment isn’t friendly or safe what so ever. Jake beats Beth because he knows he has the physical strength over her.
