Answer:
The protagonist of the story, Jack is a married man living with his pregnant wife Clare, their four-year-old daughter Jo, and their two-year-old son, Bobby. Uninspired by and disillusioned with the responsibilities of family life, Jack uses the stale ritual of telling his daughter a bedtime story to avoid helping his wife re-paint their living room to prepare for the arrival of their third child. A talented storyteller, Jack takes pride in creating engrossing stories for Jo even though he is quickly running out of fresh ideas. Each story concerns an animal named Roger who has a problem that is solved by the story’s end. Much like Jack’s life, the stories follow a strict and unchallenging pattern and contain hallmarks of domesticity: each story begins with Roger at home with his mother and end with his father’s return from work on the train each night for supper. In telling the stories, Jack is able to indulge his gift for creating suspense and his love of language, even when the references go over Jo’s head. Jack crafts Roger Skunk in his own image: a skunk who is isolated from other animals much like Jack was as a young boy. Roger is lonely because of his smell, which he is ultimately unable to change out of a sense of duty to his mother. Though Jo is unaware, Jack is channeling his frustration in his marriage into the story, and becomes increasingly upset when Jo contradicts him, as it reminds him of Clare. Ultimately, Jack is unable to tell a story that engrosses Jo, who is furious that Roger Skunk must keep his original foul smell. Jo insists that Jack tell her a story in which Roger’s mother is physically punished for contributing to Roger’s isolation and unhappiness. Jack is shocked to see Jo’s animosity towards the mother figure in the story because it reflects his own animosity towards Clare and their life together: a life in which Jack feels increasingly trapped and has come to resent Clare not as his partner in the struggle, but as his principle tormenter
