Human Maturity in The Human Comedy by William SaroyanWilliam Saroyans The Human Comedy, deals with ravages of life. Due to these trials, Homer is forced to jump on. How he matures is a result of facing the challenges. Two actually import themes that help homer mature ar family and death. Homer represents the men of the house because he works and earns money for the family. For example, he goes to school until three oclock, then goes to work until midnight. Going to school and working is very hard but it needs to be done for the family to survive. In addition, Homer needs to be both a father and a big blood brother for Ulysses. Homer loves and dish outs for Ulysses, and he teaches Ulysses about life, and physical appearance. Finally, Homer said, Any work that has to be done around here, men can do. Girls belong in homes, taking care of men. (Pg. 157) Homer is rewarded for being the man of the house by getting love and shelter from his family. Love is needed from the family to keep Homer supporting the family. Homer becomes mature by working, but looses his one and only childhood. Death is a very important theme, because delivering death messages is what made Homer mature. For example, Homer told his mother All of a explosive I feel differentnot like I ever felt before.
