Question
Examine the communication channels in the story between Paul's mother and his uncle.
Advertisements
Solution
It would be totally unfair to call Hester that harsh a lady for she did care about her children after all, however, she gave importance to materialistic gains. When she realised her son's obsession with the racing horses, she asked Bassett the gardener to keep Paul away from Oscar so it did not affect her son's health. She realised that the obsession was proving to be neurotic for her son and she wanted her son to be healthy and for that, she risked her relation with her dear brother.
