Thomas Hardys The Sons Veto, graham flour Greenes The Basement Room and alan Sillitoes Uncle ErnestIn each of the three stories, The Sons Veto by Thomas Hardy, TheBasement Room by Graham Green and Uncle Ernest by Alan Silitoe, therespective writer conveys a sense of isolation regarding the centralcharacter. There be numerous similarities between the charactersbased on their common plight, but each story differs in the portrayalof these characters. The writers in effect present the charactersusing a varying range of literary styles. In The Sons Veto thedisabled Sophy is denied happiness from not fitting in to a highsocial class. Graham Green in The Basement Room employs a phantasmagoricsituation to demonstrate the vulnerability and naiveity of youth.Uncle Ernest is a story, which adopts a dreary glide slope to Ernests sustenance.The opening descriptions of the three characters are very effectiveand induce uninspired views. This app fabrications to Ernest especially inUncle Erne st as we first hear of him wearing a dirty raincoat andlooking as though he hadnt washed for a month. These observationsimply that Ernest is homeless and the use of dirty further emphasizethe fact that something is wrong in his life. Sophy also stands outfrom everyone else in The Sons Veto but for different reasons toErnest. Hardy creates Sophys character to be misplaced in society, asshe is a young invalid lady and wheel chairman bound. In contrast tothis her nut brown hair was a enjoy and a mystery. Her hair is usedto make reference to her tale suggesting a mysterious and darkbackground yet its vibrancy allowed her to observe a part of hercharacter. The wheel chair depicts isolation espe... ...he war. The reader is overwhelmed with charity for Ernest, as nothing ever seems to result in happiness forhim.Our sympathies lie with all three characters as their isolation hasbeen conveyed to the reader effectively by each author. Philipsloneliness is a result of a troubled up brin ging which leaves himmentally scared for life. Sophy and Ernest on the other hand aresimilar to each other and unlike Philip. They both induce a sense ofhelplessness in the reader after a life of persistent disappointmentdenies them from any chance of happiness. It becomes almost inevitablethat Ernest and Sophy would halt up completely isolated as eventsthroughout the stories favor this outcome. On the other hand Philipssituation is different, he is portrayed as a very vulnerable characterand its as if he is prevented from ever having a chance to live alife.
