Paulina,
I gree with you about how alcohol problemas can effect a family. This story is an example of this because we can find a wife who is treated badly for her alcoholic husband.
I could see the importance that you gave to bad elements, alcohol,the destruction of the dreams and unhappyness. I think these points show very comtemporary topic, what is very shocking, because the author lived other times, but he was able to describe problems that today are strongly present in our society
Yeah, it is true. It is amazing how someone can destroy your life and make you unhappy. Although, if you had a bad experience with an especific person, it is very difficult to think how you can feel relieve when someone dies.Maybe this feeling is not intentional but it is very cruel when you wish someone´s death. As human beings we must look for our happiness and think before we make a decition.
pd: nice blog
