Prove that salvatore was a responsible brother , passionate lover and a loving father
Answers
Answer: The theme of love and affection is a prominent theme in the short story “Salvatore” by W. Somerset Maugham.
The titular character Salvatore in Somerset Maugham’s story is an embodiment of a true congenial combination of love and affection that we count to be two primal qualities most predominant in his mental constitution.
Salvatore was a responsible brother because he was actively involved in helping his father to look after his younger brothers after their mother passed away.
Similarly, Salvatore was a passionate lover, because he gives up his love as he did not want to see his girl suffer with him. When the girl’s parents refused to agree to their marriage, he lets her go because he felt he might not be able to support her. This shows how passionate he was about her.
Salvatore was a loving father. He works hard to earn for his children even after he falls very sick and doctors say that he will never be quite well again.
