Passage

Jarvis sat, deeply moved. Whether because this was his son, whether because this was almost the last act of his son, he could not say. Whether because there was some quality in the words, that too he could not say, for he had given little time in his life to the savouring and judging of words. Whether because there was some quality in the ideas, that too he could not say, for he had given little time to study of these particular matters. He rose and went up the stairs to his room, and was glad to find his wife not there, for here was a sequence not to be interrupted. He picked up the Abraham Lincoln and went down to the study again, and there opened the book at the Second Inaugural Address of the great president. He read it through, and felt with a sudden lifting of the spirit that here was a secret unfolding, a track picked up again. There was increasing knowledge of a stranger. He began to understand why the picture of this man was in the house of his son, and the multitude of books.

Cry of the Beloved Country.

Paton develops him male gender roles more then he does the women's gender roles. It seems at though Paton takes a better liking to male gender roles. Male are treated much better then females; females then are treated as if they are not equal to men. In South African society women are defiantly not equal to men, they are second class citizen, if they are black ( for the lack of better terms.) they a like scum on the floor. The females cook and clean. "Suffering black women."(40) The word black is used instead of African.
" with so many streets they say a man can spend his day going up one and down another." (42) The author could have used the word people or some other word that could refer to both genders being equal. In those two quotes is shows that women are different from men, and not treated as equals.
