McMahon has said in lecture that Carver's characters are saddled with a despair, a loneliness, and a private hell so engrained in their lives that they are numb to their personal hell and live in their abject misery without even being aware of how depressed they are.
In 500 words, illustrate McMahon's statement by analyzing no fewer than 3 characters from the Carver stories you have read. I recommend you take a good look at "Feathers," "Elephants," and "Cathedral."
