From what I’ve read so far Zeitoun
come off as someone who is strong, wise, ambitious, kind, loving and a hard
worker. I see his love for his wife, his kids and his community. Zeitoun grew
up as a hard worker which he embodies from his father traits. Zeitoun is a hero
because he helps family out every day by fixing any problems in their house
that needs to be fixed. He goes above and beyond just to make sure that he’s
jobs gets complete without any breaks, he’s everyone hero. Somehow, Zeitoun can
come off as very stubborn but not so much as Creon. He knew that the storm
Katrina was coming and his wife insisted that they leave home but Zeitoun did
not want to leave. When Zeitoun and his wife would talk on the phone she would
bring up the storm Katrina, Zeitoun would either change the subject of their
conversation or just dismiss it completely. In the mindset of Zeitoun, he’s
thinking how can he leave his home when there are so many things that need to be
done and so much people depending on him. His stubbornness already got him in
trouble with his wife. She had left him one time to go to Florida with the
kids. Zeitoun didn’t believe she would actually leave but when he saw her
packing the car with luggage’s and the kids already strap in he knew she was
serious. Zeitoun decision off being stubborn and avoiding the warning can cost
him his life and the life of his wife and kids.
I agree that he is stubborn but not in such a bad way as Creon is. Excellent details in your post.
