The Son's Veto is an 1891 short story written by Thomas Hardy. It tells the story of Sophy, a crippled former servant who marries her boss, the widower Reverand Twycott, vicar of the small town Gaymead, after leaving her fiancé Sam, a gardener. Fearing judgement for marrying a simple servant, Rev. Twycott moves to the city and they have a son named Randolph, who grows up to be even more ashamed and embarrassed of his mother.Years later, when Randolph is a young man and the vicar has been dead for two years, Sophy meets Sam again, who wants to marry her. Randolph, who has long assumed the position of authority, refuses, on account of Sam being a mere uncultured gardener. | |

Wicked Cultured: Randolph is stated to have had what little kindness he had in him squashed out by his education, making him a Justified example. | |

Unequal Pairing: While Twycott sincerely loved Sophie, she accepted his proposal out of respect and fear of his higher social standing rather than love. | |

| The Son's Veto / int_77bc8a56 | comment |
Unable to Support a Wife: Averted with Sam: though he couldn't offer Sophy the same kind of lifestyle that the vicar did, his plans to open a fresh produce shop with her hardly meant that they would be starving. | |
