Out Of Reach
"Now, you know, we have never had any difficulty with you, and you have never been one of the unreasonable ones. You don't expect to be set up in a coach and six, and to be fed on turtle soup and venison, with a gold spoon, as a good many of 'em do!", said Mr. Bounderby when he was talking to Stephen about Stephen's wanting to have a divorce. Bounderby is clearly an inconsiderate person because Bounderby treats Stephen unfairly because Stephen isn't high-class like Bounderby. Bounderby sees Stephen as being inferior to himself and he is superior. I am sympathetic for Stephen because he loves Rachel but he is stuck with his wife, who he does not love anymore. Stephen cannot divorce just because Bounderby won't allow it. Do you think Bounderby is being unfair for not letting Stephen divorce? How does Bounderby's decisions make you feel?

Bounderby is a cruel person. I don't see what gives him the right to act this way towards Stephen. Does this make him feel good inside because he feels powerful? Or does he just like being mean to people? Bounderby makes me feel disgusted, why should he make decisions for other people regardless of the way they feel? It's not fair for this hard working man to have to suffer living with that drunk instead of the woman he loves (which is Rachel.)
