Triumph (or lack of it) in the face of adversity

Triumph in the face of adversity is in my opinion is reaching your goal or dreams no matter what tries to bring you down in life. If you have a lack of triumph in the face of adversity is when you let those little things in life drag you away from your goals or dreams. In the play Tillie does Triumph by finishing her science project no matter what her mom or sister says. On the other hand Beatrice doesn't triumph in the face of adversity because she's allowed her bad luck to keep her from her dreams.
