.... from this house?” (45). In Sara, her father finds his most persistent and unyielding opponent, and increasingly so as she gets older. She, the youngest, has breathed heavily of the New World’s aura, and eventually decides it’s more important than her father’s preaching.

This equality of willpower, this sameness of temperament between Sara and her father is necessary for their ability to resist each other’s choices. No one else in t .....

.... In fact, his immorality can be traced back to a very young age. During his study in the parochial school, he already earns money through methods that hardly comply to virtues of any kind.
