Give a brief description of the Last family members from the novel, A Handful of Dust.

Each member of the Last household is complex in their own way. Tony is the head member; it is his family's estate that the family lives on and their way of life that the family maintains. Tony is very class driven but at the same time is not very interested in the social pettiness that surrounds this upper class. He has a love for the preserving the classic ways of life, represented by the Hetton Estate. The sign of the times however, is driven by fad, flair, and appearances. There is a hint that Brenda is very drawn to the lifestyle of the new age rich around her. She was once a socialite among them until she married Tony and her life became Hetton as well. Tony and Brenda's son is spoiled and quick with his tongue. His father has begun to groom him in the proper ways of the upper class but he is still an individual unlike either of his parents.
