    Now that she finds Tony attractive, she wants to be closer with him and wants to spend more time with him. Her concern for Tony is reflected in a scene where, after seeing him for a long time, she says, “Where have you been? On vacation?”. Despite being attracted to Poppy, there is barely any romantic scene in between Tony and her. Instead Tony is much more interested in his sister “Cesca”. Although the movie doesn’t show any incestuous relation between him and his sister, his feeling towards her is reflected in his conservative and protective nature for his sister from other men. He goes mad when he sees Cesca with other men. This nature causes him to kill his most faithful and close friend “Rinaldo”, the man whom Tony trusted so much that he had told his intentions of killing everyone to get to the top in a short car ride at the beginning of the movie. But even after his brother killed her husband, Cesca still goes back to Tony saying, “You are me and I am you”, which pretty much shows that she too had that feeling for her brother. As far as the relationship with his mother is concerned, his mother knows that Tony is in the wrong way and that he uses other for his benefits. Throughout the movie, his mother is seen disregarding him for his acts referring him as “bad” and “no…

    Back in the 1960s many people believed in a theory that set the slaves to be seen as impassive human beings. There was a big portion of people that saw African Americans as animals and property. It was a very tragic time for people of different color to not be able to be free but some like Harriet Jacobs always knew what family meant to her. I argue that Harriet Jacobs’ accounts shows that slaves have a concept of family because her relationships with her grandmother, brother, and the affect she has towards her father clearly show a family love.…
