The Novel that Unravels Democracy
Past Present Future
The Importance of Moral Responsibility
Right at the heart of this novel is the matter of voting and moral responsibility, political responsibility. The nuns who work there work for a higher good, one that he himself cannot believe in but sees that no one else would be looking after these people. He often had to justify himself at school why his parents had objected and he wasn't obliged to go and have any kind of religious instruction. And he said explaining himself gave him an immense tolerance towards the religious view. Though he couldn't be part of it, didn't believe in any of it, he somehow has a respect for it. That really comes through in this novella.
