HE HAD TO CHOOSE...
...between his career and the mother of his child!
...between faith and science!
...between love and duty!
...between sacrifice and privilege!
THE CHOICES WERE TOUGH! WAS HE STRONG ENOUGH TO CHOOSE RIGHT?
The three women in "Indiscriminate Distinctions" are very strong, but flawed, characters, each
in their own way
Josie: She's so determined to produce something unique and her own that she would have a
child, which she regards as a "blank canvas" upon which she can work her creative impulses.
Constance: So determined to accumulate so much "intellectual" experience in such a short time
that she would jeopardize her future happiness.
Elaine: So embittered by personal tragedy that she constructs an impenetrable tough exterior that will protect her from hurt.
And, of course, Owen is the most flawed of all. His only core is his perception of his work, which overrides all other concerns but which he is not strong enough to pursue.
None of these personal characteristics are explicitly stated in the narrative but which, I hope, emerge through their actions and words.
Finally, all are aware of these "flaws" in themselves, but can ignore and justify them on the basis of their relationships with each other.
