The sexual activity between Father and Mother is used to describe their relationship, and the sexual activity by Younger Brother is used as a substitute for his violence, and force. The sexual activity that is greatest related to the theme happens in the relationship between Father and Mother. While these scenes between Mother, and Father certainly suggest sexual relations, they are certainly not as intensified as the passionate scenes between other characters such as Younger Brother and, Evelyn. After Mother, and Father’s relationship has been examined, one can see that the relationship between th

are both quite different as you can see. Both these relationships are used in Ragtime for different reasons. As one can see these relationships in Ragtime were weak ones. By the end of the novel Mother is married to Tateh, and has found real love. I think Mother’s loss of love for Father was due to him always putting his work, and journeys first. Father in the end of the novel is dead due to his obsession with his work. Younger Brother is also dead due to his violence, which was stemmed from Evelyn and his relationship that had gone bad, and Evelyn is a washed-up has been who had her fifteen minutes of fame. I feel that both these relationships are important factors in Ragtime in making the characters the people that they are in the beginning of novel as well as the people they become, or the end results for these characters by the end of novel.

Mother, and Father’s marriage is a happy one as long as they carry on to have a good, healthy physical relationship. Although in the beginning of Ragtime Mother and Father's relationship was good, and healthy, by the end of Ragtime Mother had lost all feelings of love for Father, and Father I feel knew so.
