The character's present situation is stranded in such state that they accuse each other; they are suspicious and they pine for the past life. They, even, take alcohol and drug and can never fulfill their duties. The base of their behavior and conducts is determined by their oedipal complex which operates in their unconscious mind and leads their family to disintegration.en-USPsychological statesTyrone familyThesis
