All three stories portray the people in them as victims. This is and always has been the way society sees itself. Individuals grow up seeing and believing themselves as victims and servants to fate. The reality is : Life happens through you not to you. There are no victims, only participants in this game of life. Stop giving yourself away to those that feel empowered by controlling others because they choose not to control themselves.
In the case of the father loosing his son to suicide we see someone taking responsibility for anothers actions as if the father was in control. See where the idea of control comes into play here? You can influence and care for others but to control another shows lack of respect for them and insecurity in yourself.
