1 answer:

6 0

Sylvester and Clara had a mix of insecurity and disbelief. In the story, Sylvester, like the other men of the town, considers Oyster’s actions to have
been excessive. Meanwhile, Clara feels that Sylvester should follow Oyster’s example and “go get some ‘gumption’” or have some courage to demand equality. However, Sylvester believes that “you can’t live on gumption,” proven by the Oyster family’s present state. The jobs that the men already had were low status, and barely earned them sufficient pay. If Sylvester were to protest anything he feels is not right, he would be risking his home and everything he has worked for. Sylvester did not believe that he should jeopardize what he has to proclaim what <span>he should have.</span>

" For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate. But if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with the Law, confessing that the Law is good. So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me. For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want. But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me. I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good. For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man, but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and make."
