Ben decides to drop his education in order to assume the business from his grandfather, who upholds that true stonemasonry, is help by community. Ben and his grandfather are extremely close out of love, and they later separates because of the family business. This paper shall Sketch Ben Telfair's character, and discuss its positive and negative qualities (Arnold 101-103). It is exceedingly strange that, even though McCarthy identifies the Telfairs’ as a “black family”, the play does not reference any social issues. therefore, race is not significant at all in the play. Ben deserts his university education in order to carry on with the family custom of stonemasonry. In this context, McCarthy exposes the strong willed character of Telfair, in fighting poverty. As depicted in the opening of the play, the Telfair is a middle class family, and therefore, unless Ben does something to uplift the standards of the family, they may be no developments within the family. On the other hand, the Telfairs are not insightful, because they do not see any value in education and that is the reason Ben decides to drop education in order to go on with stonemasonry, since that is the tradition of the Telfairs. In addition, Ben has a strong tie with his aging grandfather, and he respects him very much. Pawpaw, the grandfather, upholds in the values of sincerity, integrity, and industriousness. Ben is determined to uphold the traditional values of the family and in this context, we realize the reason why he drops education in order to carry on with the traditions of the family. The family believes in physical work, and unless one carries on with stonemasonry which the physical one will be going against the old-fashioned values of the family. For this reason, it does not matter whether the values upheld are fruitful or not, but the objective is to uphold them (Arnold 112). The wife of Ben, Maven, has a goal to achieve. She is not only beautiful and trustworthy, but she desires to become a lawyer. McCarthy introduces Ben’s Mama as a conventional mother who is compassionate and has caring attitude. She believes it is her overall role and responsibility to handle everyone’s problem in the family regardless of size or age. Even though she seems concerned, this is a very weary character in the Telfair family. When one assumes the responsibility of others, then some people might fail to learn to take care of themselves and they may never be accountable for their own deeds. In a way, Mama portrays a mothering feature, which puts the family in a high risk. Ben is the protagonist in the play, and the Telfairs contribute to the dramatic incidences evidenced in the play. Ben’s eldest sister Carlota, after being overwhelmed by her broken marriage, neglects her parental responsibility and her son indulges in delinquent behaviors and drug and disappears from home. Even though the neglecting mother is contributive towards the loss of her son, I believe, Mama’s character is contributive. She always tried as much as she could to fix everybody’s problem, and she did this taking accountability for mistakes committed and trying to solve them herself (Arnold 110). In addition, her compassionate character leads to a failed marriage of Carlotta.
