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.
O-Lan killed the ox in "The Good Earth" by Pearl S. Buck to provide sustenance for her family. The ox was a symbol of hard work and labor, but during a time of dire need, O-Lan prioritized her family's survival over the ox's value as a working animal. This act highlights the desperation and harsh realities faced by the characters in their struggle for existence. Ultimately, it underscores the themes of sacrifice and the difficult choices that come with poverty.
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.
