Eadlyn also starts to pay more attention to Kile as the selection goes on: “I sat there staring at Kile” (Cass 138). I also predict this, as a result of Eadlyn wanting to be around Kile more as time goes on: “ maybe for the first time ever, I wanted to hear him speak” (Cass 163). Kile is kind of a benefactor for America due to him starting to care more about Eadlyn too, considering he went and asked her if they were ok after their first fight. Eadlyn is getting more comfortable with having Kile around and talking with him, which shows that they have some feeling for each other :”Why haven’t we really talked before? It’s so easy”(Cass 252).

    is abuse, dominate, and then be remorseful, but not remorseful enough to actually repent of his abusiveness. From the beginning, Stanley is shown as a man who needs to be manly. The very first description of him, where he is shown as “the emblem of the gaudy seed-bearer” (Williams 1826), one can see that he views the gentler sex as lower than him.
