An Analysis Of An Alcoholic Husband

376 Words2 Pages

BUT my real opinion is that people with emotional or mental problems find it difficult to be accountable and to act reasonably. Some might actually have a good opinion of themselves or their abilities but still mistreat others. For example, the constant presence of relatives or good friends or a spouse reminds them of the possible social consequences resulting from drug abuse and of their neglected responsibilities. So, an alcoholic husband knows that he should spend money and time with his family, but his desire to spend time and money on alcohol is much stronger. He gives into drunkenness but the conflicting desires make him feel guilty when he is sober. The anger he feels at himself is quickly turned into incorrect blame and anger at his

    Through the constant daytime drinking, in attempt to flush away his painful memories, it shows that Cletus has lost too much to tough times, and he may lose himself, if he hasn’t already. In contrast, an example of Sheriff Moss shows that through all his tough times, he seems unfazed and willing to make tough times for others. “They both turn to face Sheriff Moss in all his rage veiled by a thin mask of indifference.” (pg. 235) which shows that the Sheriff would rather tear people apart, thinking he is ‘indifferent’ to others than to admit he is struggling through losing everything, along with the only thing left, his son’s trust. Generally speaking these examples show that through the use of dialogue, the author develops the idea that hard times affect others differently, but trust can bring them back together if they try hard
