husband, once he was unable to provide her with all her extravagant taste. Hester blames their .
financial failure to her "unlucky" husband. The situation made her grow bitter. Hester's priorities; .
obviously not the children but her greed, has made her unable to display any affection toward the .
children. The mother and father, selfish and indifferent regarding the children, leaving them to a .
nanny's care and having little to deal with the children. Hester's worries are to uphold the family's .
social position, to acquire more money to hide her inadequacies. It's fair to say few mothers" stay .
home with there children. One can get caught up with society, and succumb to it. What of the .
children, no parent's around means; daycares, after school programs, and babysitters. Little by .
little pushing children away, as an obstacle to greediness. All for what, a bigger house and fancier .
car. Deprive the innocent to indulge on greed. Children feeling abandon, attention and affection .
replaced by materialistic objects, knowing only mother and father are working to get more money. .
