The aspects of culture reflected in the book

from the 1st sight it's not easy to understand the aspects reflected in the book and to be frank I didn't have a clue to the very end. So I think the most important aspect is the relationships between parents and children. In the novel we have a vivid example of a great misunderstanding. So I think a parent should be as close to his child as possible so that he could protect him from the cruel world. Charlotte Haze failed to do it not because she died whe Dolores was 12 under the wheels of a car, but she even being alive couldn't find compromise with her daughter.
According to the culture, I can say that the cultural aspects themselves are very vague there. the main point in the book is relationship between man and a girl. but the travelling around the America can be an example of these aspects. it was a popular stuff those days.
