After her father’s death, all Emily had left was her house and no money. For this reason she was in denial of the fact that she owed house tax which she knew she would be unable to pay. If she is unable to pay the tax it could lead her to becoming homeless. It was easier for her to pretend the problem didn’t exist than face it then deal with the consequences. Emily believed her denial so strongly that she outwardly ignored letters as well as turned away the city’s authorities saying “(she) had no taxes in Jefferson” (145).
Due to his mother’s stern moral beliefs, he does not have much interest in sexual relations and has negative views on it. The third problem is Dunstan’s fear of being manipulated in a relationship because, of his mothers firm control over his father. Thus due to the hostile childhood his mother creates, Dunstan can never form a successful relationship in adulthood and this leads to a life of loneliness. Having trust is a major aspect in keeping a continuous relationship. Being trustful though, is a characteristic Dunstan Ramsay lacks and this results in weakened relationships.
Baba never discusses her with Amir, and he doesn’t appreciate the qualities she passed down to her son “That was how I escaped my father's aloofness, in my dead mother's books” this being a disgrace to baba as he wished for a masculine son "Real men didn't read poetry-and God forbid they should ever write it!” this effectively showing baba’s disinterest in Amir as Baba believes a real man is interested in sports. One interpretation to explain his lack of conformity to the ideal model of manhood could be due to his mother as she feminizes him even though she's almost
Some would think that they will miss their families and relationships and most of all, love. But the people in Utopia have never experienced any of these. They were brought up in conditioning centers and feel that parents and family are primitive. The mere sound of the word annoys them. Monogamy is discouraged by the utopian society and considered improper “Four months of Henry Foster, without having another man…why, he’d be furious if he knew…” This restrains people from getting too emotionally involved and putting their loved one’s needs before the society’s needs.
Kate and Catherine have similar experience, but the way they solve problems and how they communicate with people are totally different. Kate lost her parents when she was seven, then she was raised up by her brothers, who made huge scarification in their life. Early year experience makes Kate admire her brothers, at the same time, she feels disappointed and guilty to them, especially to Matt. When she teaches, she always thinks about “If things had turned out differently, it would have been Matt standing in front of them instead of me”(Part4, Chap16, Pg200), the reason for that is due to her guilt to Matt. She is very sensitive and lack of communication with people, even to Daniel, her boyfriend, she refused to share her secrets and past with him.
Troy’s emotional warfare with himself unfairly holds Cory back from his obtainable dream. Troy would not let Cory play college football because of his own past experiences. Troy states, “I decided seventeen years ago that boy wasn’t getting involved in no sports. Not after what they did to me in sports” (Wilson 1535). As a result of his failure to make it to the baseball major leagues, Troy reflects his defeat on Cory, telling him he’ll never succeed because of the “white man”.
Baba is the important character that controls everyone, such as how they live their lives and puts the negatives with the positives. This connection shows Amir’s feeling about Baba and about himself. All Amirs’ feelings cause much to go on, but all this just makes him realize how he was his father’s son. The father son relationship starts off very bad. Since the day Amir is born, he feels that his father dislikes him.
Isolation dominated the seventy four-year life of Emily Grierson in 'A Rose for Emily' by William Faulkner. Never in this story did she live in harmony with anyone one short time. Even when she died of age at seventy four, people in Jefferson town rushed into her house not because they wanted to say goodbye forever to her but because they wanted to discover her mystic house. Many people agreed that it was the aristocratic status that made Emily?s life isolated. And if Emily weren?t born in the aristocratic Grierson, her life couldn't be alienated far away from the others around her.
The id being, “the dark, inaccessible part of our personality” ("New Introductory Lectures"), clearly proves how someone in Sarah’s life would be unable to completely understand her due to the fact that she hid her sorrowful past. Sarah was alone in the world even though she had both a loving husband and son because she would not share her feelings with
He believes that he is always right, he is abusive, and is always being short-changed by life. Even though his wife is impartial to his actions, she looks at him with an “anxious face at his shoulder,” which describes how weary she is when in the presence of her husband (Faulkner 1961). My father was also abusive. I was not yet born so I was not victim to the abuse but my older siblings and mother were not spared. Similarly, Sarty’s whole family lives under a blanket of fear and anxiety due to his father’s insecurities, and resentment for people who belittle him.
