1. in both "marriage is a private affair" and "a meeting in the dark," young men fret that their fathers will disapprove of their potential wives. compare these two stories by looking at how the personalities of the young men and their fathers to shape the eventual outcomes.

i don't understand this question at all , could some one re-word this ?

The questions seeks to know how the different young mens and their fathers' personalities affected the events of the 2 stories. The commonality between the 2 stories is that they both involve young men who are worried about their fathers' disapproval of their wives. The question asks how this happened even if the young men and their fathers have different personalities. Focus on how their personalities affected what happened in the 2 stories. A completely hypothetical example is because one of the young men was very unsociable, it was difficult for him to talk to his father about his wife which led to his fathers' non-acceptance of the wife.
