The relationship between Helen and Ralph (and the fact that they are referred to by their first names) is an interesting one. Helen takes on the familial load because Ralph isn't capable or won't. She works the hardest, both at home and in the restaurant. Mona notes the "crevasse" between them.
In what other works have we seen these types of issues between male and female characters? To what do we attribute it? Why do the women always seem stronger in their "new world"?
