By means of a combination of this type of information, Francis Macomber's character is changed due to constant abuse from other characters, an inner struggle with fear and embarrassment, and, eventually, by hatred- a deep hatred for Mr. Wilson and a somewhat quieter hatred for Margaret Macomber. An initial cause in the final changes of Francis' personality can be attributed to the constant abuse suffered at the hands of his wife, and, briefly, by Mr. WilsonFor example, in p 259. Francis and Margaret have obviously reached a point of stagnation-stagnation in their feelings for each other and stagnation ... demonstrates cowardice without fear of remorse from his wife. However, it is the remorse that he himself, deep inside, feels, that begins to turn Mr. Macomber around. Additionally, Mr. Wilson also contributes to this compounding abuse. Even though, for the most part, Mr. Wilson's feelings are perceivably kept within the confines of his own mind, the effects of these thoughts still exists. To illustrate, in p 54, Mr. Wilson ...

My grandmother was pregnant with her third child in 1949. Her work experience included: interior design and modeling women's clothes for the Sears catalog. I asked her to read the Friedan essay and let me know if she felt as moved as ... a mother. Justice Blackmun delivered the following opinion: Maternity, or additional offspring, may force upon the woman a distressful life and future. Psychological harm may be imminent. Mental and physical health may be taxed by child care. There is also a distress, for all concerned, associated with the unwanted child, and there is the problem of bringing a child into a family already unable, psychologically and otherwise, to care for it.

He also accuses the British of pride with his claims that they would be pleased to serve a child's flesh at "merry meetings, particularly weddings and christenings" and that it would "make a considerable figure at a lord mayor's feast or any other public entertainment," suggesting that the meal would serve as ... also deals with the folly of the insensitivity of the British to the plight of the starving Irish.

- ... an effect on the way we view problems and events within public boundaries. One of the most important and most effective influences children have in their lives occurs from their parents.

Hemingway acted out his feelings of inadequacy and powerlessness by hunting, drinking, spending lots of money and having many girlfriends. I ...
