Englishman
who lives in London all his life. He was married to a doctor for 15 years, but they have got divorced two years ago and he now lives alone. He was recently fired from his job as architect and is now unemployed. He is pessimistic that he will be able to find another job before he will retire . His two daughters, one of which is 17 and the other 13, lives with his ex-wife. The older girl has recently become pregnant and would like to keeping the baby even though she don't intend to get married. Both Joe and his ex-wife think that she is too young for the responsibility of bringing up a child as a single parent and have advised her having an abortion. She refuses to listen to them and is running out of the room when they bring up the subject. |
