His father’s turbulent life-style causes significant stress for Sarty, and, in the end, he makes the painful decision to give his father up and run away. The author seems to have written this story to show that poverty is the driving force behind much violent criminal behavior, effectively display that children are, by nature, compassionate, sympathetic, and loyal individuals, and suggest that sacrificing family ties is sometimes necessary to accomplish a greater good for society. Faulkner’s antisocial characterization of Abner Snopes effectively depicts how lower class life often leads to resentment and destructive behavior. When the family arrives at their new home, Abner remarks to his wife “I reckon I’ll have a word with the man that aims to begin tomorrow owning me body and soul for the next eight months” (506). Abner is full of bitterness and jealousy.

Section 1 To understand what led to Hamlets rejection of Ophelia ,it is necessary to analyse the psychological impact on Hamlet state of mind after the death of his father and his mother’s hasty marriage to his uncle. In the first soliloquy he reveals his true feelings regarding his mother’s relationship with his uncle. Hamlets perception of the world has changed and sees the world as “weary, stale, flat and unprofitable.” He compares his life to an “unweeded garden” full of things “rank and gross in nature.” Here he is implying that his life is corrupted and polluted by his mother’s incestuous marriage to his uncle.

Tyler Evans Margo Williams English 113 September 22, 2011 Haunting Memories in Roethke’s “My Papa’s Waltz” Theodore Roethke’s Poem “My Papa’s Waltz” is often viewed as a loving relationship between a father and son but when viewed in context it is actually describing the atrocious memories of the relationship the son recalls with his father. Bobby Fong of College Literature states in an article, “Despite its seeming lightness, "My Papa's Waltz" is a poem of terror, all the more terrible because the boy is frightened and hurt by the father, even in play.” (78) The poem begins with an image of a helpless child and a careless, drunken father playing crudely through a house. In the first stanza Roethke states, “The whiskey on your breath could make a small boy dizzy; But I hung on like death such waltzing was not easy. “ (1-4). When alcohol is thought of in a situation such in relation to a father and son, there is immediately a negative vibe.
