Naked lunch
By

I tend to agree with Vernon. Lucy seems more sympathetic. The reason I agree with Vernon is because he brings up a good point about listening to everything that is said about eating . For example where he said about eating more bran and how it was good for you one day and could kill you the next. I think that Lucy is more sympathetic because she tries to let it go and Vernon made a big issue out of the fact that Lucy would not eat meat. Lucy has become a vegetarian due to learning of the health risk that are involved in eating meat. Vernon becomes very offended by the fact that Lucy will not eat the meat so much to the point he makes fun of her and practically forces her to eat the steak. Vernon feels that he worked hard on making this dinner and if Lucy does not eat the steak it is a reflection upon him. I think that Vernon is the Antagonist of this drama because he seems to be the lesser of the two characters. The centeral conflict of the story is the fact that Lucy will not eat the steak. The final tone of the story is that of anger and humiliation. Vernon changes his whole attitude towards Lucy when he cuts her steak and makes her eat it. When Lucy first got there Vernon had the hopes of a reconciliation but by the time that Vernon cut Lucy’s Steak any hopes of getting back together were gone and all that was left for him was anger. I do not understand why this was called the naked lunch. The only thing I could see was that he was hoping to get naked in the begining but this never happened.
