While the novel does not specify exactly how o-lan dies, her symptoms along with the area and time period are consistent with that of suffering from an intestinal parasite.
Opium-H-Skag-
O-lan and Lotus
O-Lan dies of a painful illness but is grateful to be surrounded by her family and home. Her death marks the end of a tumultuous but ultimately fulfilling life as a hardworking and devoted wife and mother.
He had to let O-lan kill the ox for food
I liked this book. Your main characters would have to be Wang Lung the farmer and O-lan his wife.
in The Good Earth, he left her alone for many reasons. at some parts it was because he felt at he was better than her. at other parts he was ashamed. there were many reasons throughout the book.
O-Lan Jones was born on 1950-05-23.
The Earth-the source of all life and the center of Chinese societyThe Poor Fool- represents Pearl Buck's daughter, Carol, who was her only born child and was also mentally handicapped.O-Lan- represents how women were viewed and expected to act in Chinese societyThe second daughter(who was killed immediately after birth by o-lan)- The way that female life was invaluable
I assume you mean O-lan's decision about commiting infanticide and killing her second daughter. She made this very tough decision because of the severe famine at the time, as Wang Lung could not provide for himself, much less another child. Based on O-lan's actions at the time and the intense love of mothers for their children, this decision caused a mind-boggling amount of suffering for O-lan, especially as the strangled baby could not be given a proper burial and was eaten by dogs soon after.By the way, you could really get more answer quicker by saying what you mean more clearly and specifying that you are talking about the novel The Good Earth.
The explanation that O-lan gave for the eldest sons behavior is that; he cant like lotus.
On Halloween (October 31), for example, Hwan could expect to find o-lan in Jack-o-lantern.
In "The Good Earth" by Pearl S. Buck, Wang Lung lies to O-Lan about putting tea in his father's water because he wants to maintain a sense of control and protect his father's dignity. He fears that the truth would upset O-Lan and disrupt the harmony of their household. Additionally, Wang Lung's actions reflect his desire to uphold traditional values and respect for his father, even if it means deceiving his wife. This moment highlights the complexities of family dynamics and the burdens of responsibility that Wang Lung carries.
