Having a mother to guide, encourage, and mold a child is essential in developing their character, and as Baby does not have one, it has prevented her from learning valuable lessons in life. Due to this, Baby is left in the care of her single father, Jules, who has always been involved with narcotics, and “trie[s] to be a mother, but [has] always kind of fallen short on the mark” (O’Neill, 186). She recognizes the fact that her father is unable to take care of himself, and is not considered a true authority figure due to his immature tendencies and vacuous decisions. Baby is, hence, forced to take on the parental role, and is deprived from her childhood and the nurturing environment that is necessary in order for a child to properly flourish. This forces her to learn how to be self reliant and independent, however, without guidance, Baby turns to what she knows best and succumbs to the life of drugs, alcohol and prostitution —a fate that was inevitable due to her circumstance and the external factors that surround her. As Baby does not comprehend the feeling of unconditional love that children are supposed to feel from their parents, she searches for love in all the wrong places. When she meets Alphonse, a pimp in her…
