Arthur Morel Timeline and Summary

  • Arthur is the youngest Morel child.
  • From a very young age, he is temperamental and demands to get his own way.
  • The one standout thing about his childhood is the fact that he loves his father Walter very much, unlike the three other Morel children.
  • As time goes on, Arthur starts to get fed up with his place in the Morel household.
  • One day, he goes off and joins the army on a whim, which is a really dumb thing to do.
  • The law says he can't get out of his contract with the army. So that's that.
  • From this point on, Arthur doesn't show up a lot in the story.
  • Eventually, his mother does manage to bail him out of the army, and he gets married to a much younger woman.
  • He goes off to have a family of his own.
  • We don't hear much more about him after that, except that he shows up again when his mother gets ill.
  • Weddings and funerals always bring people together, you know.
