What motivates each main character? What sets Paul’s quest apart fromthat of the others?
What will be an ideal response?
- It is the desire for more money that motivates them all. Perhaps the most blatant evidence of the family’s obsession with riches appears in Uncle Oscar’s attempt to console his sister after her son’s death: “My God, Hester, you’re eighty-odd thousand to the good and a poor devil of a son to the bad” (par. 244)— as if he were enumerating her assets and liabilities on an imaginary balance sheet.
Paul’s frenzied pursuit of money differs from the greed of the others in that he wants wealth not for himself but for his mother. Clearly he hopes that, by being “luckier” than his father, he will win his mother’s love and attention.
