Best answer

Binded by greed and avarice the materialistic people show a total disregard for modesty, grace, decency and filial obligation. The old people deserve to be treated with great care and love. Their days in the world are numbered thus looking after them should be regarded as an opportunity rather than as a tiresome burden. 

In the drama, ‘The Dear Departed’ William Stanley Houghton satirizes the degradation of moral values in terms of respect and care within the members of the family itself. 

It starts like this when the Slater family got to know that their grandpa left for heavenly abode at seventy two. He spent his last days with Mrs. Slater but before he lived with Mrs. Jordan. Slater never wanted to divide up the belongings of grandpa with Mrs. Jordan as she achieved what she planned to get grandpa’s bureau down from his room and pretended to her sister that she won it at a second hand auction. Both of them thought that their father was dead. The fact is that he was living upstairs and when he came down, the family portrays him as transmigrated one. He comes to know that his daughters were only after his valuables and didn’t even to care about him. The drama signifies that how the present generation is reacting towards the elders. The worldly people are after materialistic things, they do not care about the lonely old aged ones. How close we are to them and even a bit time we spend with them, we should ask ourselves.
