He seemed to have never been close with her. During his pretrial interrogation, he was asked if he loved Maman and answered, “I probably did love Maman, but that didn’t mean anything. At one time or another all normal people have wished their loved ones were dead”(65). He isn’t even certain on if he even loved his own mother. Any
Curley’s Wife’s loneliness is caused by her husband. Curley’s Wife is lonely because she did not follow her dream, Curley treats her as a possession, and the guys on the ranch avoid her because she is Curley’s Wife. “Coulda been in the movies, an’
In the beginning, the narrator does not want this blind guest visiting him and his wife. He does not know what this visit will bring about. His wife was married once before and was divorced. “she told him about her divorce. She and I began going out, and of course she told her blind man about it.
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. To begin, her husband, Ross feels as though he has married beneath himself, and he does not love her anymore. 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.
Before this line, Jordan remarks that she’s “never seen a girl so mad about her husband,” it’s more like Daisy was mad with worry that her husband was off with some other woman. That’s why she would look “uneasy” when he wasn’t around, because she knew of the possibility. Daisy, entirely aware of her husband’s infidelities does nothing to stop them yet she complains that she is unhappy. She has no right to do so seeing as she had the choice of not marring Tom but
Both of them told the story of another person who are suffering or in struggle. The narrator of “Cathedral” didn’t have a name. In the beginning of the story, when the narrator knew a blind man, Robert was coming to visit, he said “he was no one he knew and his being blind bothered me”, and stressing “a blind man in my house was not something I looked forward to.” From above declarative sentence, the narrator himself revealed how prejudiced he was before meeting Robert. In the flashback scene, the narrator once said “I heard my own name in the mouth of this stranger, this blind man I
“In the movies, the blind moved slowly and never laughed. Sometimes they were led by seeing-eye dogs” (28). Since he had never had an experience with a blind person, the narrator never had a chance to see what they are really like and how they really live. To the narrator’s surprise, Robert “didn’t use a cane and he didn’t wear dark glasses” (31). The movies that the narrator had seen with blind people in them have given him the impression that dark glasses are a necessity for all blind people, but that is clearly not the case.
They thought they knew each other well enough to get married, but as Carl says it in the text “And once we did it seemed too late” (p.8, l.66). So now he thinks that he is stuck with this life. With a family that he feels separated from “they didn’t seem connected to him nor did he feel connected to them”(p.10, l.134). The only way for Carl to find comfort, for his sister’s illness, is in his sister’s friend, who is going through the same kind of pain. But since Carl moved to Worland with his wife and daughter a year ago, he hasn’t been able to stop thinking of Lily, a woman who attends his church.
At the first time, I saw his movie in Critical thinking class, it felt so boring and I thought that was nothing important about his lecture. Honestly I slept, when this movie played in class. Sometimes questions popped in my head “why this damn lecture played over and over again, there is nothing special about this lecture at all, are the teacher crazy give something like this to their student? Or they try to lullaby the student so they can take a rest or other reasons” than I erase that statement from my mind because I have paid so expensive for this course. So then, I tried to watch this lecture one more time, when I got nothing to do (Thing that I rarely do in my free time).
The text goes on to say, “My idea of blindness came from the movies. In the movies the blind moved slow and never laughed” (Carver 100). This being thought by the husband puts across that blind people can’t be happy because they can’t see what is happening around them. The husband also claims that it is “creepy” that Robert doesn’t wear dark glasses. The husband didn’t like having to look at Robert’s eyes without glasses because there was “too much white in the iris, for one thing, and the pupils seemed to move around in the sockets without his knowing it or being able to stop it” (Carver 103).
