Also, her lack of intelligence has left her with no job and an inability to get a job. In the story, there are many reasons contributing to Jean’s feeling of emptiness and difficulty in her life.

Their marriage was most likely caused by Jean getting pregnant with their son, which made Ross feel like he had to marry her out of force. In the story, Ross specifically tells their son, Kevin that he should try not to marry beneath himself because he will end up stuck in the same situation as him.
F451 Analytical Essay First Draft The novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury is about a firefighter named Guy Montag, who lives in a futuristic society where books have been banned by the government that fears of an independent-thinking society. It is the job of firefighters to burn any books on sight. After Montag meets Clarisse on his way home, Clarisse challenges him by asking, “Are you happy?” (Bradbury 10). This simple question causes Montag’s to change and causes everything that follows in the novel. Montag grows increasingly dissatisfied with his life and starts to wonder if perhaps books aren’t so bad.
The effective noun ‘bees’ suggests Guy dislikes them because humans, as a group, are not particularly fond of ‘bees’. The verb ‘humming’ suggests Mildred is content and happy and has no care to talk to Montag and as they cannot simply talk to each other it highlights another fault. Guy is noticing these problems and realises that he and Mildred do not love each other as they should. Guy finds that this is common throughout his community and that it isn’t right, so he begins to rebel against it. Initial signs of Montag’s rebellion continue to occur throughout the novel.
He thinks that the Senior House is a better choice for the both of them as his mother would be happier there. Despite in actuality, Meursault’s mother did enjoy a blissful before her death, the fact that Meursault shows no emotion towards both his mother and her demise is incongruent to the social trend.

The men on the ranch fear Curly's wife.
Being week and vulnerable makes people uncomfortable so we use the mask as a shield to hide what we do not want other people to see. In American Beauty, Lester and Carolyn do not tell their neighbors and friends that they are having marital trouble because they do not want people to know.

On the outside, the Burnham family appears to be your average American family.
She never leaves her house, mostly because her husband is afraid of the way people talk. It really is not her fault she was the way she was; it is mostly Torvald's fault for spoiling her. Nora relies on Torvald for everything much like a puppet that is dependent on its puppet master for all of its actions. The beginning of the story depicts Nora as a woman who is totally submissive and subservient to her husband. She seems too fragile and weak to make any decisions on her own.
Families depend on love to maintain the peace within the house. A family filled with hatred doesn’t allow the kids to see beyond the situation at home and make their home situation a representation of what the world is going to be like. Just as in the book, Charlie’s mother was unhappy with the flaws of her son and would not allow herself to love him. He grew up with the thought that he was not worth anything and always tried to prove himself. People with love around them tend to lead happier, more successful lives.
Some might argue that It is because of his wife's berating, that Rip was not proactive in contributing in house work. I think that whether she nagged him or not, it would not have changed his character traits. If I for example wanted a clean home, my home would be clean. If my home was dirty, and it did not bother me, I would not clean it. I think that Rip Van Winkle was looking for a distraction like most men, a every man.

In the beginning it is obvious to see that the Tyrone family lives differently than most other families. For one their house has many unused and unlived in rooms.
