I have started reading the book "Cujo" by Stephen King. It seems so far that money is having a negative affect on many of the characters. Due to money problems, Vic may lose his contract with the Sharp company. It has also caused Vic and his wife Donna, to move apart slowly. It has also led to Donna cheating on her husband for Steven Kemp.
Money has become a major issue, especially for Vic. "They would indeed have gone under, as Roger pointed out, if Sharp hadn't decided to stay with them... Now it was the old man who wanted to stick with Vic and Roger and it was the kid who wanted to jettison them."(King 28) Vic and Roger are in a big situation. If Sharp decides to leave, then their business Ad Worx will go bankrupt and shutdown. This will make Vic jobless.
Money in the book is causing relationships to fall apart. "Feeling jealous of Vic because his life was a daily struggle to build something. When he was gone the house seem shockingly empty. So she washed floors that didn't need to be washed . She watched the soaps. She thought about Steve Kemp, with whom she had a little flirtation..." (King 44) Since Vic has to work to keep his business, which leaves Donna (the wife) to care for Tad. But while Tad's at school, Donna finds herself doing nothing. Due to money issues, Donna became lonely and depressed, causing her to make a move she ended up regretting.
I really hope this money issue ends because if it doesn't, it'll force the characters to take desperate measures. Or make even more decisions that they'll regret. It'll also tear the family apart. Hopefully Vic works everything out so he could spend more time with his family. Also so Donna won't feel alone.
