George is a strong character and thinks himself a proud Pakistani as he got a chips and fish shop. In this play he mostly causes violence. His opening sentence in this play is “come here you dirty little baster…….” This quote shows that he never talk to his children politely so, he don’t have good relation with his children than the relationship of children with their mother. The word that George mostly used is “bloody” which sound so cruel and evil and is the evidence that he cause lot of violence in this play.
In this play George is a strict character who treats his family in very bad manner. But the quote in page 42 “You see puther…….nobody different”. Is really sad which has no violence at all. Here George is tired of forcing his children to follow Pakistani culture and is now trying to explain why he was like that. In this quote he hasn’t used his usual word ‘bloody’. This quote is quite long which show that he can explain to his children nicely rather than making violence every time. He is trying to say he is not acting like boss, he love his children and is just trying to show them best way to live a life. From reading this we feel really sad and think what he is doing is right. He is typical Pakistani and wants his family to be like him, we also know that mostly religious want their family to follow the religious which they belong to.
The mood of the character George has changed several times. Sometime he is good and sometime he produces too much violence “See very nice make you relaxing” He is telling this to his wife where he is trying to make Ella happy and we also know that he can make his wife happy whenever he want and can be good. “Your bloody children”. This shows that he always point Ella whenever the children do wrong and he blame about this to her. He hasn’t shown any respect towards his children and wife which is told by a word “family” and George thought he is the only person who money for their house which is shown by a word “my shop”.
George attitude is religious and his thinks are old fashionable “You coming with me to mosque here, we go to see mullah, you come as well Saleem and Meenah”. This quote shows us that he is really religious, in his sentences always religious come first than the education of his children.
The writer has used same dramatic device which George produce “You see puther, I tell you I buy you watch, is very special it tell you when to pray see in Arabic”. The word ‘watch’ significant that as far as they (children) wear watch, they are belong to George and have to do whatever he say. From this we find that George is trying to put his son in control by giving them less freedom.
The writer has set out scene like this to tells how much problem it cause when the people with different accept and different culture live under the same roof. As the character are changed we are meant to change our feelings as well. When George explain to his children what to do and nobody listen to him that time we really feel ‘sorry’’ for him and at last when he beat his wife and become bossy we feel angry at him.
