The innocence of children is something to nurture and foster. When that innocence is lost, it can have devastating consequences. Sometimes, it comes in the form of young love and can be easily tainted like the love affair between Polly and Mr. Doran in “The Boarding House”.

In each situation, there is…

focal point to emphasize the innocence being lost in the young girl. Without these elements, Stock’s concept that innocence does not last forever, would be lost to the viewer. The young girl featured in the painting has two dark black braids down both sides of her head, and five flowers of various types and colors in her hair.

Mothers usually know their children very well, and I would be surprised if Mrs. Fane really didn’t know her son that well. Additionally, there is only one instance in which he showed violence and a crazy temper. This was when his brother broke something he had worked so hard for. Walter was clearly very attached to Helen, and she broke his heart twice, but according to Mrs. Fane,…
