Dealing with change in My Kinsman, Major Molineux My Kinsman, Major Molineux is about Robin, a young protégé. This story opens with Robin trying to find his relative, Major Molineux. He approaches many people who try to find his relative. Of all the people he approaches, none are helpful in locating his relative. He finally gets an answer and discovers that his relative has been tarred and feathered. This comes as a shock to him, however, he faces that surprise and moves on with his life. This story is about change and how to deal with the fact that change is inevitable. The first man, whom Robin asks about his relative, was gruff and useless. Even though Robin asked where his relative is in a polite manner "Good evening to you honored sir, please tell me where my relative's house is..." He received no response from this man. Later in the story he meets the same man again. At the second meeting Robin stated otherwise and received a response from the man. This time he was more confident "No, no, neighbor! No, no, I'm not the fool you take me for, and don't pass until I get my question answered." This transformation in Robin shows that experience breeds change and that change is inevitable. This change in Robin can be paralleled with corporations and governments. By taking inspiration from change, any sentient structure can learn that new measures are needed to succeed. When Robin found his relative, it was under less than desirable circumstances. Robin was severely shocked; "His knees trembled and his hair bristled with a mixture of pity and terror." The crowd following his relative was overwhelming as he grabbed Robin in his clutches and his cries of laughter were the loudest. This shows that each generation must make a decision on protocol to handle situations that arise. Every government and society must develop new policies and rules for unexpected situations that arise. Even the physical similarities between Robin and his relative show that change does not have to be a completely new beginning, but a "younger" way of looking at the world for the society, government, or individual of that day. Finally Robin was preparing to leave for his home in the country.
