It is everything they feel like they need back in their lives, so it drove them to take this vacation. Expecting to get a sense of direction and peacefulness from his experience, he is soon conscious of the fact that it’s going to be a lot harder then he expected. Mitch is very reluctant to shed all of his “big city” amenities and ways. Wanting the easiest and quickest solutions, as we find is the case in most people, he refuses at first to fully engage in the ways of the cowboy.

This is because most of the time when you had no money you would have been a peasant and life as peasant was inhumane.
He should have killed himself last week.” (Hemingway 143) and then he has the nerve to tell the man himself that he should have killed himself. It’s understandable that he would want to be in a rush to get to his wife because being with the one you love is precious at times, but then again he has no right to tell a person that. I also believe that his logic that the old man having money should keep him happy is ridiculous. Money does not by happiness in my opinion, just because the old man had plenty of money does not necessarily mean he’s happy. I believe everybody needs that one person in their life that they share a romantic intimacy with, the old man lost his and who knows if that was the reason he attempted suicide.
His parents were peasants, although his father had worked from being a miner to owning several foundries. Luther’s parents were extremely harsh, and his childhood was markedly unhappy. “Many years later he would still speak bitterly of some of the punishments he had suffered. Throughout his life he was prey to periods of depression and anxiety, and some scholars suggest that this was due to the excessive austerity of his early years.

I think that she could've left for three reasons; Her childhood was not good, her father was an alcoholic and treated both Eveline and her mother with disrespect and cruelty, as well as her being forced to take care of the family when her mother died. My first reason that Eveline could've left was because of her terrible childhood. In the story Eveline is described as poor and probably does not have a very comfortable life. Eveline's struggle for money is constantly mentioned in the story. There are very specific details that show how miserable her life is.

When someone has committed to spend their life with another person, they have two people to care for, themselves and their partner. Even though I believe marriage is a beautiful experience, it can make one forget about themselves and their life aside from their wife or husband.
