Spence Lila
In the novel, Spence and Lila by Bobbie Anne Mason, there are several scenes from the novel that help us to understand Spence and Lila’s relationship with their children. ... Spence tends to be the stable, pillar like, figure of the family. He is, for the most part, very serious as compared to his wife Lila. ... Spence has a good relationship with his son, Lee. ... I believe that Spence did not push the issue with the farm because he did not want his son to do something that he did not want to do and he does not think that Lee could make enough money to support his family, in today’s world, on such a small farm. Spence also has close relationships with his two daughters, Nancy and Cat. Spence sees Nancy as the adventurer. ... Spence wishes that she could live closer to the family, but he understands that adventurous nature inside of her.
