    Leaving Home By David French

    Conflict is a typical and natural aspect of any human relationship. Conflicts could arise between strangers or even the people we are closest with. Conflicts within families are dreadful because you are fighting with the people you love most.

In the controversial debate of who is responsible for the problems present, my opinion is that Ben leaving home is primarily the fault of his father; Jacob. Jacob is to blame because in the play, we have learnt that he has many negative characteristics which clash with Ben’s personality, Jacob’s past and bad habits also raise conflicts, and lastly, Jacob’s frame of…
