Family Dynamics In The Hotel On The Corner Of Bitter And Sweet

Family, when you think about it, has a very open-ended definition. For some it is easy to describe as they say it's their parents and siblings, but for others it's there close friends, and yet some believe there is no such existence of people being bonded close enough to be a family. Whichever way you perceive family though, you can see dynamics that structure how a family functions and interacts. In The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet two very different families contrast each other in the Okabes and the Lees. It is even seen how family dynamics transcend generations as Henry and his son Marty interact.

Differences in family dynamics can be seen vividly when observing how Henry's and Keiko's families engage each other in the novel.
