Behavior throughout Cat's Cradle

Overall, Cat's Cradle showed me how behavior has evolved. First off, I feel the role of woman has definitely changed. When Emily Hoenikker died after giving birth to little Newt, Felix pulled Angela out of school to act as the motherly figure to Frank and Newt. Felix, who never interacted much with his children, couldn't handle this himself so he chose Angela. But why Angela? -because she is a woman and she is able to do more work than a man? It has been becoming more popular in today's world for woman to work, and sometimes then it is the mans job to be in charge, or handle the household. Also the womans role in Cat's Cradle makes them look like they are to follow orders and never step out of the box. For example, on page 33, when Miss Pefko is being introduced to Dr. Nilsak Horvath. Dr. Horvath states ""Whats new in surface chemistry?" I asked Miss Pefko. "God," she said, "don't ask me. I just type what he tells me to type." And then she apologized for having said "God."" This to me makes her seem scared to be different, and she is also very apologetic to men as if they are the surperior ones.
Another way i saw behavior was demonstrated was through Frank. Frank, being the son of a man who invented something new, didn't have any responsibility. He was a Major General on San Lorenzo, and didn't really want much to do with it. For example, when he tried to speak with John about becoming president of San Lorenzo, and John refused, Frank didn't really know what to do, so he asked John who else would want to job. Frank never wanted to assume any type of human responsibility- passing the job of president to just anyone who would take it? John, then, eventually took the job because it was everything he ever wanted and it was also everything Frank wanted- honor with out responsibility. In today's society- a major general having this type of attitude- the nonchalant, don't care type- would be fired right away. I personally think Frank is just lazy.
