The entrance of Scrooge’s nephew Fred at the beginning of the story introduces another side to the miser. Scrooge is not unfortunate in the way of relatives – he has a family awaiting his presence, asking him to dinner, wanting to celebrate the season with him, yet he refuses.

He chooses to live alone and in darkness while even poor Cratchit is rich in family.
Throughout the story, David’s conflict of the Tomkeys not having a television generates a discomfort towards them and he thinks of them as wicked. Even though David’s family does not believe in television, they “watched the news, and whatever came on after the news” (850). No matter how much David’s parents did not agree on watching television, they still sat down and watched their shows as a family; it was the only activity that they knew how to do. On the other hand, the Tomkey family did not own a television; they sat at the dinner table, laughed and went on family vacation every weekend to the lake house. David tried to ignore the Tomkey children, but “it was impossible to separate him from his celebrity” (851) making David envious.
He met Mary, who fell in love with him. However, John did not love Mary; he merely used her for his own self-gratification. “He goes to her apartment twice a week, she cooks him dinner -- after he eats dinner they would have sex then he falls asleep” (Atwood 155). John seemed to have emotionally detached himself from Mary because “you’ll notice that he doesn’t even consider her worth the price of a dinner out” (155). Yet, “friends say they have seen him at a restaurant with another woman named Madge” (155).

Arnold’s intimacy with his family is such a large part of his identity that when they shut him out, his entire demeanor changes. Before, he was innocent and open, but he slowly shuts off his emotions and becomes wary of others. Although he was perfectly comfortable being naked a single day ago, he now feels that “his nakedness [has] become unpardonable” (9). Arnold is beginning to close himself off to the world, and is not nearly as carefree as he was before experiencing the betrayal of his parents.
This quote is very important because Odysseus and Penelope finally reunited after long years. Odysseus and Penelope have a strong relationship because Penelope shows loyalty, love, and faith. Odysseus loyalty is in his battles to get home to his wife. Penelope's loyalty is steady as she waits for Odysseus while raising their son, staying faithful to him and refusing to take a suitor.

Another scene shows him suffering through a meaningless retirement dinner along with his wife. His wife, Helen tries cheering him up by surprising him with breakfast in the in his 35 foot Winnebago Adventurer that they bought together to use in his retirement, but he seems least interested.

Schmidt is left completely displaced, living a life without a meaning or purpose.
Logan Killicks can offer this child security with his 60-acre potato farm. Nanny sees no need for the love that Janie asks about. A month after this conversation, Nanny is dead, and Janie is alone and unloved. In conclusion, in the story “Their Eyes Were Watching God” this is not a feminist novel.

Once he finished his time in the military, James Gatsby devoted his life to making the money and putting on the right show so as to win back the affections of the woman he loved. For example the quote, “I decided to call to him. Miss Baker had mentioned him at dinner, and that would do for an introduction.
