In an attempt to correct this, Homer tries to get his family to sit around the table, however he is soon disappointed as his family has terrible table manners.

It was a joke because I never intended to get married, and even if I did, my grandfather could not have afforded enough caviar unless he robbed the country club kitchen and carried it off in a suitcase.” (p. 24, The Bell Jar, Sylvia Plath) There are many other instances in the text where the reader finds straightforward humour in serious situations.
