Analysis: (Psychoanalytic Approach)

• Pablo Cabading was very strict to his daughter Lydia because the father was sexually

        aggressive his daughter. this statement was supported in the story that Lydia and his

        husband Leonardo didn't have a perfect honeymoon. Lydia always sleep with her mother at

         night due to the many alibis of her father Pablo.

• The wife of Pablo Cabading was an underdog to his husband Pablo Cabading.      

• We can say that base on the story the attitude of Pablo Cabading has something to do with

           his past experiences because as we define the psychoalytic by Sigmund Freud it is the

          UNCONSCIOUS mind over the CONSCIOUS mind as we define the unconscious it is the

         storage of the past experiences or memories.
