Yet his shame at having a child with a Hazara woman leads him to hide the fact that Hassan is his son. Because he cannot love Hassan openly, he is somewhat distant toward Amir and is often hard on him, though he undoubtedly loves him. Keith’s father is
She in turn is someone he does not feel able to stand up to, and therefore doesn’t suggest he meet her on another day. Again this is likely to be the same fear of rejection. Mr X has mentioned he would like to propose to his current partner, Mr X feels that he doesn’t have anything to offer her with his current role in the estate agency. It may also be this same fear of rejection that is stopping him proposing to his current partner. Or it may be that because of he low self esteem he doesn’t see that his partner isn’t good enough for him which is the reason doesn’t want to propose, but doesn’t have to confidence to start a fresh
Even though he loves Edna and his sons, I don’t think he is considered as a good husband since he knows very few about Edna’s true feeling. I think this because he spends slight time with them, and leaves the family behind and goes out saying that he is always busy and has to go away for business or spends more time with his friends. As my point of view, I think it is not fair for a guy to treat a wife or his family like this and it seems like he is just a selfish person to me. Since marriage during that time of period was very harsh for women I think she was able to survive by meeting people. The time period where Edna was living was in a very strict condition for the women, especially for house wives.
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).
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.
Sonny’s brother is older and he should know better that people ought to follow their dreams and do what they like to do in life so far as it isn't illegal .Baldwin tells us how Sonny's brother gets into an argument with Sonny when their mother dies. Sonny’s brother acting as a parent asks Sonny what he wants to do and Sonny tells him music. He doesn’t take Sonny serious because to him, you can't make a living out of music meanwhile people do make a living out of music. And he doesn't understand that music is the only thing Sonny wants to do. He tells Sonny that people can't always do what they want to do but Sonny who understands the world better argues that people ought to do what they want to do if not what do they live for (119-122) .I think Sonny is right, people should be able to follow their dreams .I’m riding with Sonny on that one, everyone should be able to follow their dreams because to me, I don’t think you can be happy in a career you’ve never liked.
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
Although it can be argued that poverty doesn’t lead directly to abuse and pedophilia as it was in the novel, I will elaborate more in this paper of how poverty is the string to a set of these problems. But also the novel shines a light on the unwillingness of parents to take actions against abuse. The problems that chronic poverty brings were well documented in the book. The character of “Daddy Glen” struggled in the book to hold a job, which led him to move his family from places to places and somehow develop anger toward his stepdaughter Bone. Certes his abuse and pedophilia toward his stepdaughter in some views might not be a reflection of the poverty and instability he was going through but some other studies also show otherwise.
While his hometown has not changed during his absence, Krebs has changed tremendously. Yes the girls have grown up, but Krebs does not want the baggage that came with having one. He does not have the desire for the talking or the whole courting process in general. While he remains detached from the girls, he also remains detached from his family. When asked, “Don’t you love your mother, dear boy?” Krebs replies, “No”, adding “I don‘t love anybody“ (Meyer 169).
Guilt can cause a lot of emotional issues with an individual as I know personally first hand. Conrad also was dealing the fact that his mother was not being the motherly type toward him, and showed very little feeling toward him. Conrad did not feel that his mother gave him the balance and direction a teenage child needs to keep the moving in a positive manner or directions in their life. Beth, his mother was in a state of denial or separation attitude and chose not to express her feeling of love and emotion toward him. I can personally understand what Conrad is going through because those are emotions I dealt with in my life with my father.
