Addie's And Jewel Research Paper

Adding on, Addie’s and Jewel’s relationship was always very different than Addie’s relationship with her other children. Addie loved Jewel and hated her other children. It was later revealed that Jewel was not Anse’s son which is the reason why Addie loved Jewel more than the other four. She felt as if her other children belonged to Anse, and the only reason she had them was because that was her duty as a wife. With Jewel, it was a lot different. Since Anse was not Jewel’s father, he had no ownership over him. That being said, this makes us wonder if Jewel is so different than the others because he has a different father. Having a different father lead to a deeper connection between Jewel and Addie making the love he has for Addie stronger.
