Nearly every character in the play love’s Grover's Corners, even as many of them acknowledge its small-mindedness and dullness.

Dr. Gibbs, for instance, who refuses to travel, thus cultivates his ignorance of life outside of Grover's Corners in order to remain content within it; his son, too, decides not to go away…

Horace claims that through our struggling, we may discover strength in aspects of our lives that we had not been previously aware of. Horace is correct in this statement. People…
