Beneath the Crimson Maples
註釋Life is hard; there can be no denying it. To find a sense of identity with another person is easy, but one’s need for security then becomes nonexistent. Security is illusion. Can the characters in this novel completely accept this? Consider Mr. Bogdanovich, a former alcoholic who finally finds solace through meeting his muse in a sandwich shop. Everything we’ve been told must be questioned if we are to become fulfilled adults and parents. The models we’ve been raised to follow are shallow, to say the least. Love and fear are not opposites. Can we overlook our past to live in the present? This is the question we must all ask ourselves.
