Carson McCullers

An important issue that was experimented with in The Ballad of Sad Café de Carson McCullers and during class discussion was the concept of love. As McCullers ago difficult for the reader to understand the abstract definition of love, the reader can only interpret its own definition on the basis of relations between the three characters associated with the main love triangle: Miss Amelia, Cousin Lymon (the hunchback), and Marvin Macy. On the basis of the discussion, I remember two interpretations main areas: sexual love, that the class as a whole agreed to be a plausible interpretation, and that brotherly love that Kristen Tanner specially bred and was founded to also be a sound interpretation.
It's the way that McCullers decided to conclude his novel that best supports the latest of the two interpretations. Men Twelve deaths was a little short that describes a team of twelve criminals working gruelingly and finish singing merrily as they do. In contrast to the rest of the story that describes the unrequited love, the chain gang is the brotherly love that is answered, "Every day we hear the sound of striking peaks of the clay soil, harsh sunlight, the smell of sweat … dark voice will start a sentence, half sung, as a question … soon the whole band is singing "(McCullers 70). It is also Significantly, the twelve men on the chain gang made up of seven men and five white men in black because it shows that is more favorable for brotherly love to overcome even a South secreted in times of hardship. And when that conclusion is read, it is more comprehensible to understand that if a brotherly love between the three main characters in the love triangle, then the destruction of the cafeteria would have been avoided. Furthermore, this refers to the idea that a harmonious brotherly love has powerful properties. The form in each of the three characters who played the role of "The Lover" was spontaneous and bonded to their "beloved" reinforces this, if only the love is mutual.
Besides the actual content of Twelve Mortal Men, the fact that it was an independent plot of the novel awake is a sad truth that life goes on. During the debate two passages mentioned, which includes information of a whole family die from eating rotten meat, and the other discussed the low value of human life. The above passage reveals that a disturbance of brotherly love (the arrival of Marvin Macy) was the cause of an event so sudden and tragic, while the second passage is saying that is the cafe, where a congregation of people who took the socialization of brotherly love, serves as the solution for little value of life. Both support cases an obvious conclusion, is for the best exist that brotherly love and prosper in this world.
