Walter: Walter wants to use the money that his mother got for life insurance to open a liquor store. In the end, he doesn’t get what he wants because one of his “co-owners” takes the money and runs. This is a very bad thing because he not only loses the money for his liquor store, but now there is no money for his sister to go to medical school.
Walter’s Wife: Walter’s wife wants to be able to live in a house of their own and be able to support her new child. She wants a place that will be able to have a bed for her current son, also, who as of now has to sleep on the couch. In the end, she also does not get what she wants, because when Walter loses the money, they have to cancel moving out so his sister can still go to medical school. This is also a bad thing, because now there may not be room for a new child in the house.
Walter’s Mother: Walter’s mother only wants to be able to send her daughter to medical school, so that is what she really wants to use the money for. At the same time, though, she wants to be able to count on her son as the man of the house, so she gives him the money. In the end, she cannot count on her son to be the man of the house, which is bad because they lose money, but she is still able to preserve the goal of being able to send her daughter to medical school.
