Mayor/ community sees the town as forgiving Claire for her 'sins'- IRONIC, acting like she left at her own accord and abandoned the town when in actuality she is shunned out... sense of forgiveness for coming back to assist the town

Belittling- story of the son who had everything and wasted it, puts her down when she had to work and struggle for her fortune, saying she was wastefully extravagant. 

Reaction - 'I was a rather different child from the one described', confesses to all her wrongdoings but is not asking for a punishment

This is how Claire should've been treated; she should have been supported as it would've stopped her from becoming the jaded, cold woman she is today but instead she was shunned when she did little wrong. In contrast, after Ill condemned Claire and their child through bribery and sins, he is given support and respected, 'dead certain' he will be elected mayor.]]> 2017-09-05 01:50:38 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey/de6m8rcshtll/wish/184608323 https://padlet.com/abby_davey/de6m8rcshtll/wish/185354279 Welcomed back with a celebration, but they wanted nothing from the prodigal son whilst they needed money from Claire ]]> 2017-09-07 01:28:06 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey/de6m8rcshtll/wish/185354279 https://padlet.com/abby_davey/de6m8rcshtll/wish/185354334 Claire spent her money on important things to help women in the same position as her, the prodigal son spent it on prostitutes and wasted the money
