When they finally are able to move back into Angela’s hometown of Limerick they live in a house that is not much better than what they left in the United States. In fact, this house is considerably worse than their home in New York. They have to share a lavatory, which is located right in front of their house and leaves a nasty odor and sometimes overflows, with their neighbors. Being in Limerick, which is a part of southern Ireland, makes finding a job even more difficult because the southern Irish hate those from the North like Frank’s father. Not only does this make finding a job next to impossible it also gets him a great deal of disrespect from the community, especially from Angela’s sister and mother.
Also, of course the kiss between them showed some tension as all Elizabeth did was "receive it", but it shows strength on Johns part as he is showing her physically how much he loves her. There are very many awkward moments during this scene, and I can see that the strength in their relationship is actually causing the tension. If John and Elizabeth did not care for each other deeply, then they would not be trying to please each other so much, as they are showing in this scene, which cause friction between
The Flyte family is of no exception to this prospect. Sebastian’s family is constantly finding themselves in battle on many matters, resulting in a very conflicting and unstable environment. Ultimately, Sebastian wishes to escape from his family and does so by excessive drinking. From the very beginning of the novel, there is an evident sense of distance that Sebastian feels from his family. As he and Charles first approached Brideshead, Charles deliberated when Sebastian stated, “‘It’s where my family live.’ And even then, rapt in the vision, I felt, momentarily, like a wind stirring the tapestry, an ominous chill at the words he used – not ‘that is my home,’ but ‘It's where my family live.’" (Waugh 29).
He is having a rough day, and needs a way of escaping from the reality of his adversity. For me, a way of escaping a rough day is to get lost in a movie, where the adversity is of the characters, and none of yours to worry about. Unfortunately, drinking to escape the adversity in reality really just creates more adversity for oneself. We see this in counterparts when Farrington arrives home. On top of all the adversity Farrington has gone through during the day the alcohol brings out rage in Farrington to the point of beating his own son which simplifies down to more adversity in Farrington’s life.
Junior's father “drinks his pain away” (107). Junior concludes, the Indians drink to feel better, but on the contrary, they sink deeper and deeper into sadness, “all Indian families are unhappy for the same reason: the fricking booze” (200). As we have seen in this novel, alcohol encourages aggression and violence in the family. There are numerous examples of violence related to Junior's best friend, Rowdy, whose father is an alcoholic. Often Rowdy appears with
This is where we see that the Devil is the ultimate tempter. Thus, the beginning of out story. In this short story there are many examples of ethos, and pathos. Pathos is the method of writing that stirs the emotions of the audience. One example of this is when Washington Irving says that the couple, Tom and his wife, lived in a "forlorn looking house that stood alone and had an air of starvation.
Hilliard is presented to us as a typically strong character, restrained not only by the upper-middle class community he grew up in but also by himself. His emotions are it seems, perpetually suppressed, as expected of a middle class gentleman of the time. We see in Part 1, his past embarrassment at the extravagant dresses and hats of his mother as she walked through the village when he was a child, now he appreciates this, admiring her beauty “his mother looked beautiful”. On leave we see Hilliard is irritated at the general public for, it seems the duration of part one, at their ignorance of ‘the truth’ of war. We see, a great deal of resentment towards the arrogance with which the public treat the conflict, displayed in “where old men aired their military opinions […] and agreed about politics”, This is exemplified by Hilliard’s own father and perhaps more pertinently the Old Major, who irritates Hilliard with his fervent talk about his time “in the cavalry”.

A common trait of the character's in "As You Like It" is how their sense of belonging is weakened by the man-made court. In this sense, the setting of the court is occupied with corruption and therefore enhance how harmonious Arden is. In the court, Orlando sees himself being abandoned by his kingdom. Oliver neglects his upbringing for selfish reasons is portrayed when Orlando complains to his brother, "I know you are my brother as...you should know me." The mournful and discouraged tone of the dialogues between the two of them depicts a hidden barrier towards each other.
