THE ANALYSIS OF THE MAIN CHARACTERS’ HATRED DEPICTED IN SANDRA BROWN’S NOVEL,

WHERE THERE’S SMOKE



Someone in his or her own life has the feeling of happines, love, longing, angry and hate. It is felt because of some reasons. This analysis discusses about the  main characters’ hatred depicted in Sandra brown’s novel, “Where there’s Smoke”. The main characters that discusses here is Jody and Lara. Jody hates  Lara and her son, Key. Lara also hates her husband for some reasons since the death of their daugthe, Ashley. She think her husband is too ambitious. Both Jody and Lara have the same characteristics. They hate their family.
 
4.1 Jody’s Hatred to Lara

Jody Tackett is the mother of Clark Tackett, Key Tackett and Janellen Tackett who own the Tackett oil in Eden Pass. She is  well known in Eden Pass because of her influenced in the small town in Texas.
She hates Lara Mallory, Randal’s wife so much. She hates her because Lara has known by American’s society as a bad woman who has broken down Clark Tackett’s carrier in political as a senator in America representative from Texas.     
All mothers in this world are wished their son to be a good and successful person. They are willing to do every thing for the success of their son and also protection. That is the pure love from a mother. See the following quotation.
“The only thing Jody loved better than Tackett Oil was her boy,Clark. She thought the sun rose and set in him. I guess he never crossed her. Anyway, she had his future all mapped out, including a stint in the White House”

“Clark was Eden Pass favorite
(Sandra Brown, 1993: 51, 67)

The quotation above shows that Clark has become a favorite son in Eden Pass. It is Jody’s plan on him. Jody is happy because her plan becomes true
In her eyes, Clark was a golden boy in the family because he always follows whatever she said to him. So that she also loves him very much more the others her son and daughter, are Key and Janellen.
However, it is not too long. Her happiness changes into a sadness, hatred, disappointed and revenge. Clark catches red-hand with a woman who has a husband, named Lara Porter. The scandal  becomes the hot news in America.
It makes Jody hates to Lara because she thinks that the good name of Clark and his politic carrier is going to be down because of Lara. Moreover Americans do not like him anymore. See the following quotation:
“He had no future, period. You cost him his carrier in politics. He didn’t even embarrass his political party by running again. He knew that American had had their fill of statement getting caught in compromising position with bimbos. 
  (Sandra Brown, 1993: 63)
The quotation above shows Jody’s sadness on Clark and her hatred to Lara is the cause of her failure in getting a good future for Clark. Of course all mothers do not want their sons’ future broken by someone whoever they are. The mothers will really get angry to them, even they do not want to see them.
Jody’s hatred to Lara has made her leaving Eden Pass. She worries that Lara will find out the scandal. Clark tells his mother he does not let Lara knows about the scandal. In fact she knows it herself when she comes to her husbands room where he and her husband are making love. This is the condition that makes Jody feels worry if Lara stays in Eden Pass. Jody worries if Lara will tell the truth about Clark. If Lara tells the truth about Clark to the public, it surely makes her family’s good name downed. Thus, Jody think the problem solving for this case is to get Lara out of Eden Pass. Thus she makes some tricks to move Lara from Eden Pass, see the following quotation “
“Just stating the fact, Doc. Nobody in Eden Pass will dare offend Jody by becoming your patient. You can count on that. Too may families depend on Tackett oil for their livelihoods. They’ll drive forty miles for an aspirin before they’ll darken your door.”
Sandra Brown, 1993: 67)

The quotation above shows Jody’s trick to move Lara away from Eden Pass. As a woman who has a big power and  ownes everything, she can influence the people in Eden Pass not to come to Lara as her patient. Her influence is felt by Lara. Although she is a competent doctor, no many people come as her patient for they afraid of Jody’s intimidation. All the people in the town  drive out of the town only to get an aspirin moreover, they afraid of Jody because they can be fired from her company if they don’t listen to her. 
Jody really hates Lara. She does not want to be helped by Lara thought she needs the help very much. Examine the following quotation.
“Ge’ ‘er away from me. Don’ want ‘er to touch me.” Her speech was slurred, but her message was clear.
“Dr. Mallory saved your life, mama,” Janellen said gently.
Jody tried to sit up but couldn’t. She fixed a murderous stare on Dr Mallory. Although she couldn’t articulate her animosity, it was effectively conveyed.
Key made a swift motion with his head. “Take off, Doc. She doesn’t want you near her. You’re only making matter worse.”
(Sandra Brown, 1993: 252-253)

The quotation above shows Jody’s hatred to Lara. Even she is dying she still rejects Lara’s help to save her life. Her hatred to Lara is also the reason to forbid Key, her son, to be close with her. She does not like Key makes a relationship with Lara. She really wants to drive Lara away from Eden Pass. She even says that she will not die in peace before she knows Lara goes out from Eden Pass. See the following quotation:
“Lara ignored him. “Primarily, I’m backing down because I’m afraid the fight might kill you.”
Jody focused on her for the first time since entering the room. “Well, you’re wrong. I won’t die until I see you on your way out of town. My town. Clark’s town. I won’t rest until you’re gone and the air is fit to breathe again.”
(Sandra Brown, 1993: 288)

The above quotation shows Jody’s hatred to Lara. It has become her principle that she does not want to stay in the same town as Lara. Moreover, Lara stays in the town where Jody is the most influence person, Jody says that she will never die until she is able to get Lara out of her town, Eden Pass.
Her worry is on climax when Randal comes from Montesangre and stays in Eden Pass. She is afraid if Randall tells the truth about her Clark to the public. So she comes to Randall and shoots him to make him silent forever. See the following quotation:
“Oh, God, Key! I did not shot him. I couldn’t. I didn’t!”
“No, I did.”
The husky confession came from behind the wedge of space between the partially open door and the paneled the wall. Key reached past Lara and closed the door in order to see who was hiding behind it.
“Jody”
(Sandra Brown, 1993: 487-488)

It shows that Jody really wants to cover the scandal. She does not want the Eden Pass citizens know that her son, Clark is a gay. After killing Randal, the trouble makes in her family. She dies in peaace in Key’s embrace.

4.2 Jody’s Hatred to Key.


Jody is a kind of mother who does not make a fair decision children. To her children, she always makes a differentiation in giving her love. Especially between Clark and Key. She always makes comparation between Clark and Key. In fact, it makes Key a bit dissapoint.
The relationship between Jody and her son is not good. Since Key’s born, she never gives him her love as a mother. Her husband causes her hatred to Key. Her husband makes a fatal mistake, when Clark born he gives Jody six dozens of yellow rose and when Key is born he does not give her anything. It makes Jody hates because she thinks that her husband does not love her, and as the effect of her hatred to her husband, she hates Key. See the following quotation:

“Your father is captivating”. Her face is calming. “When Clark was born, he had gave me six dozens of yellow rose. I angry with him because of his waste, but he said that there is not in every day a man gets a son”
“How when Key was born?”
Jodi’s eyes, which are red because of tear changes in into lightening. “I have got nothing.”
(Sandra Brown 1993: 214)

The quotation above clearly shows that the cause of Jody’s hatred to her husband who does not give her presents when Key is born. Even at the time, Tackett junior, Jody’s husband does not at home when Key is born. He is going out side with a woman. That is the cause of the problem.
In this case, Jody makes a fatal mistake to her husband. Her hatred to her husband also happens to her  son, Key. Of course it is a big mistake of a mother. Even though her hatred to her husband ends up with a divorce, as a good mother, she still has to love her son.
The relationship between Jodi’s and Key is no fixing for thirty-six years or since Key was born. Their relationship is the same as west and east. See the following quotation:
Jody and her son look each other. Between them there is a deep gap, which for thirty-six years is never ended. Key is doubted whether the gap between him and her mother can be ended.
(Sandra Brown, 1993: 51)

The quotation above shows that Jody’s relationship with her son, Key is not harmony. It is because Jody never appreciates each Key’s presents to her. She always compares Key with her gold son, Clark. Of course between two people there are some differences.
Key feels doubt on the relation between him and his mother will change. If it changes it means that the power of angel has came to change her mother’s heart and mind.
Her hatred to Key is making her treating him unlovely. Whenever she meets Key there is always debate among them. It even happens on the dining room. Moreover, Key always closes to Lara to find out a secret of Lara’s daughter, Ashley. Key guesses that  Lara’s daughter is his brother’s daughter because he thinks Lara has made a love affair with his brother. He doesn’t know the true of the story about his brother’s scandal. He does not know that his brother has the affair with Lara’s husband. So that, Jody is angry to her son, Key. She doesn’t want to accept a member of her family makes a relation with Lara. See the following quotation:
“I’ve not going to hospital. I’ve going Dr. Patton’s clinic. There is I was served by a beautiful doctor. She was who treated me.”
“Of course,” Jodi’s words were the expression of her angry.
“What the hell kind of the word?”
“The doctor. Do you know her name is? She is used Lara Mallory. Her name after married is Lara Porter.”
(Sandra brown, 1993: 55)

The quotation above explains clearly that Jodi really won’t let her family have a relation with Lara Porter. However, Key ignores her order. Thus she says to Key that he does not appreciate her brother by having a relation with Lara, the woman who makes Clark’ carrier in political broken down.
At the end of Jody’s life, she dies in Key’s embrace. Key realizes that even her mother shows hatred to him however, in her deepest heart she still loves him.  As the wife word that says the wild of tiger never eats her child.




4.3 Lara’s Hatred to Her Husband.

Lara is Randal’s wife, the ambassador of America in Montesange. Lara hates her husband because of two reasons, firstly Randal is the person who makes love affair with Clark, but to protect his carrier he sacrifices his wife and says that Lara is the woman who makes the scandal with Clark. And secondly Randal sacrifices their daughter, Ashley for his ambition in carrer. 
As narrated in the novel by the author that Randal and Clark have a scandal. Lara catches red-hand them; however, to protect his carrier, Randal composes a story that actually Clark has the scandal with Lara. Examine the following quotation:
“Tell me, Jody,” Key asks her mother. “try, please. Tell me. I must to know”
“Randal Porter is….”
“Yes, Jody. What?”
“”No, Key. Don’t. Don’t, please.”
