Machinal

The Predicament of daisy and frustration of the sheriff’s wife was the deadly potion young woman was faced with which eventually led to the death of her husband. She had to marry just because she was a woman. This thought process reflects the time period when women were supposed to be committed to a man because they were getting too old and no one would want them. Her mother told her that love amounted to nothing that her potential husband would cloth her and pay the bills. Many marriages during this period happened because of status rather than love. Those who married because of love were usually the lower class people. They had nothing to hide and no status to protect. A lot of reference was made to the Spanish communities more so the language. It could have been due to the fact that a lot of Mexicans were in the united state and they were being repatriated back to Mexico. Americans were also in Mexico like young man. They were the cause of the great depressions some Americans believed.
