Best A Wife Can Be

There’s a similarity between Clara and Cindy McCain. Both wives have an unspoken dedication to their husbands; a great need to play their matron and partner roles. Clara feels greatly indebted to Archie because she sees him as a saving grace, as more than he is. She’s aware of the oddities about Archie. He folds paper for a living, has an utterly uninteresting personality, and spends little time at home. Despite his downfalls however, she still tries to be a good wife and future matron. She tries to be as helpful as possible when the couple first moves into their Willesden home. Cindy McCain cares for her family by herself in Arizona while John McCain is off and away pursuing his career. Cindy tries to do the best to play the role of John’s wife and mother of his children despite his absence and dedication to something beside her and the family. Both women are trying to make the best of their lives with their less than perfect husbands.
