ESSAY ON: Hardy/Wyndham Comparison

Number of Pages 6

This research paper: A 6 page essay that compares and contrasts Thomas Hardy's short story "The Son's Veto" (1891) and John Wyndham's "Survival" (1956). The writer argues that while these stories are very different, the manner in which they each portray a mother's devotion to her child is quite similar. Hardy's protagonist, Sophy Twycott, relinquishes her only hope for happiness to please a son who is overly class conscious, obnoxious and self-centered. While presented under vastly different circumstances, Wyndham's protagonist, Alice Morgan, shares with Sophy a devotion to her child that supercedes other considerations. No additional sources cited.
