The Two Offers Character Analysis

In Harper's "The two offers" Laura chooses to be married rather than just being a maid and not having to go through a lot. She then learns that she really does not have a connection with her husband and she's not happy with where she is at. Her husband is not connected to her which could be really painful. They have a baby but she loses her baby. The pain alone of losing someone you were hoping to have a connection with then suddenly it is just taken away from you can be a intense heartbreak. Also, not having that support from the person you care and love to help you go through just adds more to the pain. Laura character teaches me a lot - don't just go with temporary happiness because it will get you no where you will
be sad and lonely at the end of it, but it also teaches us young people in ours days a lesson. It also teaches us that we should not rely on the opinion of a society to determine our happiness, because everyones ideas of what happiness is, is not always the same. Our society is very patriachal therefore society has no knowledge on what makes women happy all they care for is exploiting us. Women determine their own happiness not society.
