About This Quote

When Roman, a young man from a very poor family, lost his father, he was forced to take over the management of his family's household. The family consists of his two sisters and his elderly mother. His two sisters have boyfriends who are not so well off as Roman, so they have to work hard to support themselves. The strain of having to deal with these hardships is too much for Roman. He can see that his mother's health is deteriorating as she ages and does not like having to handle the responsibilities that come with this role as head of the household as well.
