The Victims

Explain exactly who the victims are in this poem and how you know.

The victims in the poem are the children and they witness all of these horrible things that are happening to their father. The sad things though, is that they are enjoying it and are amused with the pain that their father is going through. The mother taught the kids to hate their father and that's just not right. I can understand some what of a dislike for their father but nothing as drastic as hating him. All these unfortunate events that happen to their father are being enjoyed by the kids and they are the true victims because it is as if their hearts have turned black with a hate for their poor old man.
