Linda Lowman is an archetypal mother and dotes on her sons and Billy. She always maintains an optimistic attitude towards her husband and her sons. From a feminist perspective, her character can be deconstructed as being excessively centered on the logo centric discourse of the masculine. She is meek, obedient and submissive to her husband. She takes great care in not criticizing her husband’s erratic behavior and compromises his eccentricities as a loving wife. From a feminist viewpoint her character has to be deconstructed from the author’s creation as a docile human being. Her interests, her persona are all archetypal of struggling American middleclass woman who ironically have no voice other than their husbands and sons. But in spite of all of these negations, she lives with dignity and grace, coping excellently as a loving mother who is confronted with adversities.
