The Effects of a Family Breakup in "A Thousand Acres"

Jane's smile uses changes in character and attitude of characters among 1,000 acres to show the influence of family division on people.

In Jane Smiley's "Thousand Acres", the main concern is one of family relationships with family. Smiley seems to be a typical American farmer at first, but it will be revealed soon.

But the smile brings new change to the love brought about by the test of love. It is a mixture of complex of Oedipus "Respect your mother and your father", not real love, but men and women's love, love will appear. You can not transfer this love to other kinds of love, love of your father or daughter. Smiley novels are developed around the result of confusion of desire and love and the influence of wife's love on daughter's love.
