Royal Beatings

I view Rose as a victim in the sense that she is suffering affliction, direct and indirect from her father because he is all he has left of his wife. He blames her for the mothers death and subsequently beats her with more force than when Flo beats her. Sometimes I think Flo maybe has sympathy for Rose as well. The relationship between Rose and her father is clearly strained and the conflict is set. Other characters might be considered victims in the sense that they are affected by the death and Rose's father's actions following the death. Honestly, this story didn't hold my attention and I wish I had taken the time to read both stories.
