Best Answer

David's family is bound together through mostly fear, with everyone very clear on the fact that love is conditional on acting a certain way and never being anything but what you should be. The family members seem unwilling to sacrifice for one another, but they are very obedient to the law, at least outwardly.

Sophie's family is bound together through mostly love, with all of the family willing to sacrifice for one member. They are willing to flout the law for their daughter.

David wants to join Sophie's family and flee with them... but if he had, he would probably have ended up on the fringes himself, and worse off. Neither of these families is ideal... they both ended up broken. But perhaps they were limited by their fictional parameters. :)
