Which of the 3 main characters in the "Everyday Use" seem content with their lives and situation? Which do not? Why?Back up with direct quotes...

The three main characters in the story are the narrator
(Mama), Maggie Johnson, and Dee Johnson.  In simply reading the first 8 paragraphs or so
of the story, you can quickly infer that neither the narrator nor Maggie seem very
content with their lives nor their situation.

The narrator
speaks of a dream she has in which her oldest daughter, Dee, (the one who has "made it")
embraces her on the stage of a late night TV show.  Thinking of her daughter in this way
shows that the narrator seems distant from this daughter and longs for things to be
different.  She describes her other daughter Maggie as one who will be "nervous until
her sister leaves."  Then, the very first paragraph in which we actually meet Maggie, we
see her timidity ourselves when she asks her mother, "How do I
look?"

When Dee arrives with her new boyfriend, new
clothes, and new attitude, she exudes a sense of self that put both her mother and her
sister ill at ease.  Clearly, she is the one who seems most
content.

Do not be fooled by the potential irony, however. 
It seems in the final scene, the one in which the quilts are given to Maggie rather than
to Dee, that Dee may be putting on a show of feigned contentment and confidence to mask
her real sense of insecurity and identity confusion.

By
staying home with her mother, Maggie may very well be the most content daughter.  And
perhaps, despite the distance between Dee and the narrator, Mama is has lived long
enough and is in fact wise enough to be content herself.

I
encourage you to read the entire story, and decide who you believe
to be the most content by the end.
