Recommended: Weather and emotions

In the novel “The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter” Music is a big role in young girl named “Mick”(s) life. Mick is a tall 14 year old who is going through a natural process that is causing her to grow up. When reading this the reader could easily misinterpret the book by thinking she was older, and more mature. You can always learn something from this book whether it’s about music, weather, yet even John Singer’s hands will teach you something. Weather is ironic in the Novel “The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter” because it affects the mood of the characters in the story. You can understand this by reading the quotes “It was true it never like to quit raining”(McCullers 160), and “I come to believe we are all goanna drown.”(McCullers 160) This is a very vague statement Bubber makes just because it is raining to much that the characters are feeling dreary and the weather is affecting the way they felt, and is making them lonelier than ever.

    Someone might’ve had an intention to do nothing but good, and then ends up doing a terrible deed. Situational irony can completely shock and surprise the reader and their expectation of the story. This could be an easy and entertaining way for the author to show a character’s failure, or even a character’s unexpected success. The narrator had said,”I ran as fast as I could, leaving him far behind with a wall of rain dividing us.” (pg.425) This quote helps to represent the stories theme because it talks all about irony and how things don’t end up as they are supposed to. It was obviously ironic when the Narrator caused the breakdown of Doodle while he was the one trying to build Doodle up the most. Or even how the Narrator thought he would be stuck with Doodle his whole life, and then he becomes the reason why Doodle is gone from his life permanently.

    Carver uses characterization to display the contrasting state of mind between the main characters, the narrator and Robert. “My idea of blindness came from the movies. In the movies, the blind moved slowly and never laughed. Sometimes they were led by seeing-eye dogs. A blind man in my house was not something I looked forward to” (Carver 88). With the narrators dialogue and thoughts, we begin to see his envious, overcritical and ignorant persona arise. It seems that the narrator is oblivious to the close minded concepts he has about both relationships and life. “They’d married, lived and worked together, slept together - had sex, sure - and then the blind man had to bury her. All this without his having ever seen what the goddamned woman looked like”(Carver 90). The narrator’s description of Robert’s marriage exhibits his superficial idea of what a true relationship is. Although the narrator believes he has an intuitive understanding of life and...
