An essay on The Son's Veto
Our L/L writing teacher has asked us to write an literary essay on a book we have already read in class.
An essay on The Son's Veto
The Son's Veto, by Thomas Hardy, is about the life of a poor and uneducated lady called Sophy, who has to decide between love or convenience. The writer, in the story, discusses how social class has an influence on life, for example marriage and education.
At the beggining of the story Sophy is a poor and uneducated lady who works for Mr. Twycott, a rich educated man. When his wife died he asked Sophy to marry him. In reality Sophy loves the gardener Sam, who was poor, but she marries Twycott. That is an example of the story where because of money convenience Sophy marries the one he does not love.
In the case of education Sophy forms a family in which her husband and her son has a good education and she does not. That is why when Mr. Twycott marries Sophy he moves to another place where nobody know's her. Another example is when Randolph, Sophy's son, does not want her to go to his school's mettings, because of her bad pronunciation.
Finally the last theme the writer introduces is the difference of social classes. An example of the story is when Twycott dies, Sophy is alone and one day she sees Sam and deciedes to ask Randolph. He vetoes that to her mom saying that she can not marry Sam because he is a poor man. Here he shows that social class sometimes decides for people.
Well these are three examples the writer uses to explain those themes and show how social class has an influence on life, for example marriage and education. This book made me realise how your life sometimes depends on the money you have.
