allyssamickeyPart I:
It is very clear from the way the narrator describes the work places of her parents which place she prefers.
"It seemed to me that work in the house was endless, dreary, and peculiarly depressing; work done out of doors, and in my father's service, was ritualistically important.”
She clearly thinks her father’s work place is much more interesting, and she holds it in higher regard then her mothers work within the house. She describes the fence surrounding the foxes as “like medieval town”. She continues this simile throughout her description. A medieval town is something fanciful, adventurous and delightful to children, and this is how she sees her fathers work environment.
The narrator is very clear that she is much less fond of her mother’s work place, She states clearly that she “hated the hot dark kitchen” and that her mother was “plotting now to get [her] to stay in the house more, although [her mother] knew [she] hated it”.
The narrator’s bias towards the place where she and her brother sleep is very clear, though she uses little description to make this clear. She describes the upstairs room where they sleep as cold. She describes the stored objects that are left in this unfinished room, but she describes them with detachment: “a soldiery roll of linoleum, standing on end, a wicker baby carriage, a fern basket, china jugs and basins with cracks in them”. There are no words here that indicate her fear towards this room, but she simply states that her and her brother “were afraid of the inside, the room where [they] slept”. We can understand that the narrator doesn’t feel kindly towards this room, without any negative connotations in the description at all.
Part II
Eustacia Vye is a very flawed, and (for the times) a rather sinful woman. She dies running with away with a married man, from her disastrous marriage and life. They drown in a storm as they flee to Paris. She is a very surprising heroine for Hardy to choose, for most at his time were virtuous woman.
Moby Dick is the story of a captain, who lost his leg to a sperm whale, risking everything to have revenge on that same whale, Moby Dick.
Ham resided in Yarmouth where he built boats. He is often described as simple and kind hearted, and is often compared to David as David’s lesser, though David admires his gentle nature. Ham Peggoty dies trying to rescue people off a boat.
