The characters whose behaviors I do not approve of are Sven and John.

All of these reasons I have based on my interpretation of the story, The Parable. The Parable is a story about Rosemary, a young woman who is betrothed to a man named Hernando. Rosemary is ... the river. When she tells Hernando, he is very hurt and upset. He calls the wedding off and "banishes Rosemary as a soiled woman" (The Parable).

- 416: On the Island: A Review

She still looks for signs of affection however, but they seem few and far in between. She has virtually no relationship with Annette whom she sees ... of the new, efficient generation. While Doris does not fear progress, she fails to see the use for many of the modern products. Annette on the other hand has adopted a somewhat colder attitude towards John's mother. It is hard to accurately pinpoint the passages where this is expressed, as it is more of a general feeling throughout the story. As his wife, she is constantly waging an unseen ...
- 417: Sir John Falstaff's Influence on Prince Hal in I Henry IV
- Sir John Falstaff's Influence on Prince Hal in I Henry IV In Shakespearean histories, there is always one individual who influences the major character and considerably advances the plot.

Jean Kennard notes, "By keeping her underemployed and isolated, John effectively ensures his wife's dependence on him" (81).
