    It is still her interpretation of the world around her, but it goes beyond her immediate life to explore the experiences of those close to her, such as her mother. She, “…has the advantage of being able to see the faces of all…and to use insight about what emotions they are experiencing,” to draw conclusions about what’s really going on (Macauley and Lanning 134). She takes what she knows, such as what her mother told her about becoming a doctor, then adds her own qualifications, such as, “Maybe my mother’s secret place was…,” or, “My mother relished these scare orgies,” on to it (Kingston 64, 65). However, she keeps her musings to a minimum. “…[Her] role [is] even less than secondary,” only taking part in the occasional interruption of the story in order to present information that otherwise would have been obscured, such as her mother’s feelings towards her former slave versus her feeling towards Kingston (Macauley and Lanning 134). We would have been largely unaware of this had Kingston not inserted the dialogue that resulted in her mother lamenting, “and here I was…paying two hundred dollars for you” (Kingston 83). This helps the reader develop not only an understanding of the people in Kingston’s life, but of their relationship with her and the effect they had on…

    On the other hand, Mrs. Higgins has too close of an association with her son to the point where she sees his problems as hers. She has a proud and confident facade that hides a spirit broken by reasons that are out of her control. She appears to blame herself for her son's inability to keep a steady job and lead a good life. Like Don Anselmo she closely identifies herself with her family that in her case seems to have an ill effect on her lifestyle. "You've disgraced me again and again,” she told Albert as they left the pharmacy. She feels as if her son's shenanigans are her fault and this causes her spirit to crumble. This isn't the first time that her family has failed her, which in her eyes translates into failing as a mother.…

    Her past is filled with happiness while her present consists of worry and addiction. As Mary continues to be reminded of her morphine as well as Edmund’s sickness, she results back to her memories with her father before she met Tyrone. She reminisced, “He spoiled me… He would have sent me to Europe to study after I graduated from the Covent. I might have gone- if I hadn’t fallen in love with Mr. Tyrone” (106). Before she had met Tyrone, her husband and patriarch of the play, her life was filled with excitement and a dream to become either a nun or a pianist. However, after she had met Tyrone, her life changed to become full of “One-night stands, cheap hotels, dirty trains, leaving children, never having a home-” (106). The past is something that is unchangeable but one can not help to remember. It is almost as if Mary wishes she could change her destiny to pursue her passion in which she would not have to deal with the present she is currently in. Mary uses her past as an escape or remembrance of what her life could have been without the problems she is currently facing. She brings it up in conversations when she is reminded of her misery. By the end of the play, Mary fully gives her consciousness to her past memories, which causes her to be fully unaware of her surrounding. Now that her morphine addiction got out of hand and the severity of Edmund's illness was revealed, she decided to submit herself to…
