f their mothers hair or for their mother to get out of their hair.
This way he uses the incompetence of one member of the family to counteract at least to some extent the other member of the family’s incompetence, for instance the mother of the Pocket family goes against the young child in the pocket family which means that the girl has to get protected by the father. The father knows that something is wrong with the mother but he does not do anything to stop it.
This may be because this was written during another era where the fathers in middle and upper class families got the money and the wives looked after the children. The parents had specific roles and you would not see the wife going out to earn money and the man looking after the children it would not be right at that time.
Mrs Pocket a women, that is very proud on herself who thought that she was looking after her children to the best of her ability and to a very high degree. This is a very interesting quote from a mealtime with the pocket family that show the distinct area in which the members of the family worked. The quote is based at the table and the mothers burst into a fury because of something that her daughter says to protect another from being hurt. ” Mama dear’ ” lisped the little girl ” baby ood have put hith eye out.” And his was just a general concern froma child to amother to make sure that her sibling was not hurt and the mother comes back with. “How dare you tell me so?” retorted Mrs Pocket “go and sit down in your chair his moment.” This shows how she would not accept any suggestions from anyone it doesn’t matter how sensible and needed they were, for the safety of her own child.
The father tries to protect the child by saying “Good God!’ cried Mr Pocket, in an outburst of desolate desperation ” Are the infants to be nut crackered into their tombs, an is nobody to save them?” This shows how the father tries to protect his children but she was unable to do enough to protect his children enough.
The Author Charles Dickens has tried to show the incompetence of parents and people that have been put in charge of children. This shows in which ways Charles Dickens has show the incompetence of adults in his work.
