Missing love

Carroll 2022-01-07 15:52:46

Carl tried so hard to please his father. In order to help his father, he went to his mother to borrow money to do business. He didn't expect that he would be no match for the news of Alan's engagement. What he did for his father was rejected by his father. No matter what he did, his father had never cared about it. This time he was completely disappointed. Carl was about to leave, and took the money to do business, just as his mother did. Carl knew why his mother left his father, and couldn't bear it. I know that you will not give her more love than me, because you represent right and justice. You never see any of our strengths, you are always right. You can forgive us, but you never really love us. You always look down on me, because I am like a mother, you can never forgive yourself for loving her. I will never forgive him. The elder brother is as decent as his father, and his girlfriend Abel can't feel his sincerity. I've been jealous for a lifetime, and don't want to endure it anymore. I even want to buy your love with money tonight. But now I don’t want it anymore, I don’t need it anymore. I don't need any love, it won't be rewarded, it's worthless. Alan couldn't accept that his mother was such a person, went crazy and ran to join the army. My father was also paralyzed. Abel couldn't bear to watch Carl leave so painfully, she knew Carl's inner thoughts too well. Not being loved is a terrible thing, the worst thing in the world. If no one loves it, it will make people selfish, violent, and cruel. Carl has never been loved in his life, please give him a sign of love, otherwise he will never grow up, he will always live in guilt and loneliness. I hope that he is complete and strong, and only you can help him do it. Carl has always wanted to prove that he was born like this and cannot be changed. But this is not the case. People have choices. You once said that the difference between humans and animals lies in this. People have choices, and choices make them. Father finally forgave Carl, it is better to say that Carl forgave his father. The salvation between each other makes everything look so beautiful and complete.

East of Eden quotes

  • [Abra pleads with Adam to reconcile with his son]

    Abra: Mr. Trask, it's awful not to be loved. It's the worst thing in the world. Don't ask me - even if you could - how I know that. I just know it. It makes you mean, and violent, and cruel. And that's the way Cal has always felt, Mr. Trask. All his life! Maybe you didn't mean it that way - but it's true. You never gave him your love. You never asked for his. You never asked him for one thing.

  • Abra: But you must give him some sign, Mr. Trask, some sign that you love him... or he'll never be a man. All his life he'll feel guilty and alone unless you release him.
