In what ways do Leonardo and Bazarov act as catalysts inchanging family structure in the texts Blood Wedding and Fathers and Sons?

In this essay, I result be focussing on the characters of da Vinci and Bazarov, in their respective schoolbookual matters, and how they act as catalysts in changing family structure, so that by the end of the text edition, the family unit is divers(prenominal) from what it was in the beginning. I go out also analyse their characters and examine their wedge on the plots of the ii texts, and their role in plot development. In particular, I will analyse the characters terminology, and the tone of voice in which they speak this will attend in analysing their specific character traits.This analysis will help me in understanding their impact on character and plot development, which leads to them performing as catalysts in changing their respective family structures. It should be noted that man the text Fathers and Sons features many families that be principal(prenominal) to the plot, I will be specific anyy looking at Bazarovs impact on Arcadys family as come up as the impact on his own family. In the text alliance spousal relationship, I will be looking at da Vincis impact on his family and on the Bridegrooms family.In the text Fathers and Sons, when Nicholas is waiting for Arcady, we see him as a very happy person as he eagerly anticipates the reaching of his son. However, when Arcady enrols Bazarov, we notice a change in Nicholass character. He appears to be withdrawn, and he does not converse as openly with Arcady as he would normally. at that place is one incident when Bazarov offers Arcady a cigar, Arcady accepts it and when he lights it, Nicholas turns his head away. This foreshadows that the introduction of Bazarov, to the Kisranov family, will cause a gap between Nicholas and Arcady.Similarly in the text Blood Wedding, the text opens with a parley between bring forth and Bridegroom. The conversation leads to the topic of knives that involves the Felix family of which da Vinci is a member. The topic of knives foreshadows the violence and bloodshed that is to arise. The touch of the name da Vinci Felix leads to a small dispute between the Mother and the Bridegroom. Though the dispute is small, it hints of the trouble that Leonardo is likely to cause.In the text Fathers and Sons, when Bazarov has left wing with Arcady to go freshen up, Paul talks to Nicholas about Bazarov. We bum about the impression that Paul does not like Bazarov very much. Even though it may not be Bazarovs fault directly, we can see that his nominal head causes some emphasis in the family it causes some change in Pauls mood. As we can see from the following quotation, Paul does not focus on welcoming Arcady, but he focuses on criticizing Bazarov.Is he staying with us? That comal creature? The use of the countersignatures Hairy creature are utter with a tone of contempt thus creating an overall sense of tension and hostility.In the text Blood Wedding tone is also important for example when the Neighbour and Mother are talking, the Mother fi nds out that the Bride had a relationship with Leonardo. At the mention of the name Felix, the mother flares up in anger. Its not Leonardos fault that he is a Felix but the fact that he is a Felix causes great anger in the Mother and a drastic change in her mood. The mother does not welcome the conglutination with complete live and affection, but instead with hostility and animosity.In the text Blood Wedding there is a section where Leonardo, Wife and Mother-in-law are having a conversation. In this particular conversation the girl comes in and tells them what the Bridegroom is buying for the Bride. Leonardo is very rude and unpleasant.What do we careDid I ask for your whimsey?Leave me alone wherefore cant you just shut up?These are four of his lines in that particular scene. As we can see his words are very harsh, and he employs a very defensive tone, by the use of questions. He ignores his wifes pleas and just storms out of the house without a word to where he is going. It seem s that Leonardo does not really care about his family at all. This indicates that Leonardos family is breaking down we can see abrasive feelings between Leonardo and mother-in-law.However, change is not always negative. In the text Fathers and Sons, Bazarov changes Arcadys family structure in a positive way. Bazarov persuades Arcady to accept an invitation meant for Nicholas. Arcady accepted and he went with Bazarov into town. While the two were having lunch at Eudoxia Kukshins residence, she mentioned a name Madame Odintzov. Bazarov was interested in Madame Odintzov, as she was described as very attractive and Sitnikov said that he would introduce Bazarov and Arcady to Madame Odintzov. It is at Madame Odintzovs abode where Arcady met Katya, whom he ends up marrying.it was noticeable that Nicholas Petrovich had already ferment devotedly attached to her.We can see that Katya has fitted-in with the Petrovich family. So we can because say that Bazarov is indirectly responsible for Ar cadys marriage to Katya, hence changing Arcadys family.In the text Blood Wedding after the bride and bridegroom have left for the conjoin, only Leonardo and his wife remain. They have a conversation that shows place between Leonardo his wife. Wife wants to go to the church by drag on and Leonardo wants to go by horse. They have a short descent that is clearly symbolic of the unhappy, troubled marriage between the two of them. wife And I have no intention of going to a wedding without my economize. I cant take much more of this.LEORNADO That makes two of us.WIFE Why do you look at me like that? As though you had a dagger in each eye.The wife says that she cant take much more of this, this signifying the marriage. Why cant she take more of her marriage? It is because of Leonardo. He has not been shown to be a very attentive husband, as depicted by his alternative of words. The wife cant take much more of the marriage and Leonardo replies by saying that he feels the same. We wou ld expect the husband in a marriage to counter the wife when she feels this way, however Leonardo just agrees with his wife. The fact that he cant take much more of the marriage shows that he wants to break promiscuous of the bonds of marriage. This is an implication of things to come later on in the text.Leonardo is implying that he wants a divorce or another wife, and by doing so he is proceeding to change his family structure. The metaphor used by the Wife (dagger in each eye) goes only to emphasise the distance and hostility felt by Wife from Leonardo as well as foreshadowing the barbarian conclusion of the play. Leonardo is still in love with Bride, and the wife is all that stands between him and the Bride. Thus he looks at the Wife in much(prenominal) a way that she might leave him alone. At the end of the text, Leonardo does achieve what he wanted freedom to do as he pleases without worrying about the rules of society. However, this freedom came at a great outlay to Leona rdo his life. And it is through his oddment that he changed his family structure.Similarly in the text Fathers and Sons, Bazarovs death inadvertently changes his own family structure. After his first visit home, he leaves too soon we see this has an impact on his parents, they are saddened and depressed. Bazarovs death finished the change he was the centre of their life and now he is gone it is no longer a family, just a husband and wife. His parents as shown when Arcady and Bazarov first visit Bazarovs home were once very officious and full of energy, and very excited and joyful. However, after his death (towards the end of the choke paragraph of the text), we see Bazarovs parents as being very quiet and withdrawn. They no longer have that motivation (their son) to live. All they want to do is brood by his grave reminiscing over the memories they have of him as is shown by the paraphraseunable to tear themselves away from this spot where they feel themselves so pissed to the ir son and their memories of himThe use of hyperbole goes to show the extreme love that Bazarovs parents had for him and the terminus to which their lives have changed now that he is gone.So in conclusion, we see that Leonardo and Bazarov do act as catalysts in changing family structure in their respective texts. Although they cannot strictly be called catalysts because they do not remain same(predicate) their presence in the respective texts does have an impact on the characters, as well as the plot.
