'Intrinsic to "Cloudstreet" is the family unit out of which a complex fabric of ideas is woven.'

Tim Wintons Cloudstreet tells the story of two families forced together in the comparable house. Through the conflict within and between the two families, Winton explores the magnificence of family, and through this concept he examines the concepts of identity, gender roles and reconciliation.

The idea of family is indwelling to Cloudstreet. The section Fatted Calf demonstrates the complexity of relationships in families. Lon calls Fish ...a Clydesdale. A monster! and this highly patronizing tone and use of magnification prompts an angry outburst by Lester, ...get your head off and larn if you cant give it a good flush out. The use of good deal imagery reflects the inappropriate nature of Lons comment. However the mood changes quickly as soon as Quick appears. Shes havin an attack of smiles shows the fashion the positive and negative blend together within the family, and this reflects the central support and happiness despite the conflict. As Quick observes by and by there was good and bad, punishment and reward...But there was love excessively...even in the miserable times after Fish drowned. This juxtaposition of opposites encapsulates the ebb and flow of family life. Despite the conflict, the sense of love and belonging is ubiquitous in family relationships. It is this cohesive nature that allows families to transcend both ill fortune and circumstance. As Michael McGirr claims in Go Home Said The Fish, Winton is wishful for a time. Cloudstreet is an articulate lament for a period of greater moral security, greater cultural diversity, a larger lexicon of words.



Wintons jubilance of the family unit and its influence on the formation of identity continues to vacillate with significance to contemporary audiences. The family unit is under threat by external social pressure and the breakdown of relationships, but the sedulousness in maintaining it is shown to be beneficial in Cloudstreet.
