Title: Oates Seeks Revenge
Review: Ms. Oates has a deep seated contempt for the middle American family. With this story Oates expresses her contempt by concocting a family that for all their initial outward success cannot connect with, much less help, each other. The author believes that families cannot overcome obstacles and heal from their wounds. She depicts middle American families as jealous, competitive, and especially from a Mother to daughter, unloving.
