Beth is a static and flat character; she does not change throughout the novel, and, on surface levels, does not appear to want to change. She is stuck in her ways of wanting everyone to think her life is still perfect. At a party in the beginning of the novel she avoids questions about her son or answers them falsely to keep her imperfect life hidden from the outside world. One example of this is when other guests at the party asked questions about Conrad and she states “He was sick for awhile...He’s fine, now.”(661) this is one way she tries to avoid questions. She put out a false sense of well being to allow herself to feel better about others opinions of her.

This self induced isolation has lead her to believe everything Conrad did was to hurt her. In a later fight with Calvin she expresses this by “That whole vicious thing.

Despite the racism and abuse that they had experienced, these soldiers still bravely fought for the Union cause.

The movie “Glory” conveys the story of the 54th Regiment of Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry during the U.S. Civil War. The Regiment was lead by General Robert Gould Shaw, Matthew Broderick, - son of Boston abolitionists. Consisting of freemen from the North and escaped slaves, the Regiment was made up of all black soldiers. At the time, the consensus was that blacks would not make good soldiers or submit to discipline during battle.

In Hester Street, Jake heavily depended on Mamie economically to get by. Before his wife and son moved to America, he lived with Mamie in order to save money. However, when he learns of their plans to immigrate, he realizes that not only will he need to end his affair, but he will also need to rent his own apartment and pay for the associated costs himself. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have enough money to afford this, so he needs to borrow $25 from Mamie. During this time period, the man was usually the only one in the family who worked and was supposed to treat and pay for the women. Therefore, it is almost shameful that Jake has to rely on Mamie for money, essentially demonstrating that he has failed as a man to provide a decent living for himself and those he cares about. Similarly, Babbitt’s affair results from his failure, but in his case, it’s his failure to find happiness in his life. While Babbitt had faced turmoil for quite some time, once Paul gets thrown in jail, he begins flirting with younger women and has an affair. He felt sick and tired of his wife and thought that mixing things up might bring him more pleasure. However, when he notices the pain he’s brought upon his wife and learns that she falls ill with appendicitis, he regrets his decisions and wants to care for her again.

The failures of Jake and Babbitt to be proper men led them to breaking their loyalty to their wives, but differing end results, particularly Babbitt’s ability to save his marriage, proves that Babbitt is more of man than
