8. In trying to grab the things belonging to the grandfather the children completely disregard modesty, decency and filial obligation. Explain the statement taking instances from the play "The Dear Departed"

Dear Student,
Given below are few points that will help you frame a complete answer.
  • In the story, both the daughters were concerned about the wealth and belongings of their father, rather than his welfare.
  • As soon as they believed he was dead, they were eager to take into custody, what belonged to their father.
  • It was the greed and their love for his material possessions that uprooted the family and the relationships shared.
  • Mrs. Slater even lied to her sister regarding the bureau and also asked her husband and daughter to do so.
  • They were negligent about honesty, decency and relationships.
  • When they realised the plans of their father, they were willing to make sacrifices for him.
  • Thus, both the daughters proved that 'love of money is the root cause of all evil.'
  • Their love for money and materialistic things blinded their eyes.
