The Cement Garden Analysis

...The Cement Garden The Cement Garden is a traumatic novel by Ian McEwan about a very dysfunctional family in which both parents die leaving their four kids alone in the middle of their transition from childhood to adulthood.

He has poor personal hygiene, no friends or acquaintances and spends his free time fantasizing about his older sister, Julie, and masturbating. Jack’s father dies of a heart attack in the beginning of the novel. “I did not kill my father, but I sometimes think that I helped him on his way” (page 6, line 1-2).

He feels responsible for the death of his father even though he had nothing to do with it, but he has no one in which he can confide, so instead he becomes extremely isolated and lonely. Everything that happens in the story is told entirely from his point of view. When their father dies, the response from the family is disturbingly silent and unemotional, as we are told nothing of their grieving process or mood....
