Question

analyze the following cartoon from the publication puck, published in 1900, titled divorce the lesser evil. what can be inferred from the artist’s depiction of marriage and divorce in the progressive era?

Answer 1

The cartoon from the 1900 publication was titled "Divorce the Lesser Evil."

• This was the argument of the Justice while the Church representative pleaded with the Justice to stop the fire being ignited against marriages with the immorality of divorce.

• This cartoon depicted the start of government interference or intervention in marriages by granting couples the legal right to divorce in the courts of law.

• From the artist's depiction, we can infer that marriage was being regarded as an unnecessary contract that could be terminated at will during government-sponsored and sanctioned divorce.  From that period, Marriage started losing its covenant-for-life characteristics.

• At that progressive era, it was regarded as a better option to allow unhappy couples to go their separate ways and even remarry.  There was no thought spared for the children of such unhappy marriages and divorces.

Thus, today, after more than 100 years, the results have been revised.  Nations where divorce is allowed have multiplied in immorality.  Families have been scattered.  Children are adversely affected.  And the world is not a better society.
