This once highly sought after woman would now be left to care for two young children while her husband moved countries to find work (not to mention flee

Mrs Mooney is successful in trapping Mr Doran into marriage because he is very concern with preserving his social appearance and allows it to influence his decision. Mr Doran only has two options, to “marry [Polly] or run away” (61).

By now, everyone has heard of a successful show on CBS called “The Big Bang Theory” (F. Belyeu (producer). (2007). The Big Bang Theory [Television Series]. Burbank CA, Columbia Broadcast System). It is a show about a small group of friends that mostly work at a university science department. Throw in a beautiful waitress and a quirky comic book store owner and you have the makings of a funny show. One of the main characters in this show, Sheldon Cooper, is so smart that he doesn’t understand sarcasm. He lacks a sense of humor and doesn’t have social skills that the rest of society has. Unlike Sheldon, his mother Mary, who is played by Laurie Metcalf, stands out in the show as a good role model for women of any age. She is a good and loving mother who never forces her beliefs on her son, yet she stands for what she believes in and loves her son, despite their vastly differing views on religion and science.
