This attitude toward females gets passed down to her daughters and contributes to the way they treat men. Anney, her daughter, always lets Glen, Anney’s husband, take the lead within their family. The love that Glen holds for Anney and the amount he needs her to make him feel safe, to validate him, and to provide for him gives Anney collateral with which she could hold the power in a family structure. However, she defers to Glen, allowing him to make financial decisions, discipline the children, and make decisions regarding moving the family. He often makes decisions that do not benefit the family, moving them from cheap, falling down house to cheap, falling down house, physically abusing Anney’s child, and being unable to spend money wisely or keep a good job.
They take place in a time where women were considered to be less than men, but feature strong, independent female characters. Mary Whitney is the best example of this, since she can survive on her own, and has a strong viewpoint on most everything. She helps protect Grace, and explains to her how the world works, and how to succeed. She becomes a large role model for Grace and Grace uses her guidance throughout the book. Roseanne herself is a strong character, even after many years of living in a hospital.
Jacob Denvy was a 27 year old, who had no future and no life ahead of him. His life up to this point had consisted of nothing more than him looking at a computer screen, Lying down on his couch and eating food (With the occasional game from some unreleased console, and a series no one had heard of). His life was simple and boring, and he was sick of it! He reached forward and held down the off button for five long seconds, the screen faded to black.

She controls all of the interactions of the family; everyone is dependent on her. When Walter starts skipping
What the scene is conveying is the mistreatment and ignorance the other kids, and even parents, have against Samuel. One of the details is how Claire has spread her disapproval and hate towards Samuel to her daughter. Within the dialogue of the two conversations, Claire and her daughter say nearly the same things regarding Amelia’s dead husband, her depressing house, and her internal hate for Samuel. This is shown as the screen pans between Claire and her daughter as her daughter repeats nearly the same thing Claire is saying to Amelia. This shows how mistreatment spreads as even at a young age

Compare and contrast the relationship between Anne and Peter at the beginning of the play and later on in the play. At the beginning of the play Anne did not pay attention to Peter.
The book talks about how men are the breadwinners of the family and that the females are the nurturing kind. For my family alone, it is mostly females and therefore they had to work hard to be the breadwinners. I have never seen them be the stay-at-home mom and take care of the children. For my family, the roles are equal. If it is a mom and a dad, they both work, they both clean, they both take care of the children and they both take care of the finances.

The youngest 3 son turned out to be the most troublesome especially when he said, “My father and I only board here,” but he tried to love his father more than the other children. He lives on the road and does drugs, but still tried to get close to his father. This is stereotypical because the youngest child is usually accused of being the most mischievous. Goodman uses irony, a sarcastic tone, and symbolism through stereotypes to show her point of view towards Phil. In the end, it boiled down to Phil’s hard work equalling nothing to benefit him, but losing connections to his family, which is what truly should have been

The time when this story took place was a time when women were viewed as second class citizens. Mothers had traditional roles, which usually left them in the house, while men also had their roles, outside of the
Both share characteristics of family-orientation and domesticity, as stay-at-home mothers and main caretakers of their households, often performing “female-stereotyped chores (doing dishes, cooking, cleaning)”. While their husbands act as the source of income, Claire and Gloria are “neither shown on job nor mentioned an occupation”, strongly promoting this as the normalcy between the genders. Furthermore, more focus is put on the women’s feelings than it is on the men’s, portraying females as more emotional, even irrational, “although crying and whining are behaviors exhibited by men and women” (Signorelli). In the Dunphy family, Claire and Phil admits several times how their son Luke might not be the brightest child. Yet in the
