What constitutes bad seed? Does such a thing in fact exist? Or do we merely seek a cop out when we don’t have the answers?
From age twelve it would appear that Rhea Kosmo, the primary protagonist, manifests such negative characteristics.
Conversely, there are those who believe that we are born good. Does Rhea then absorb her “evil traits” from her environment? No. Both parents and her three brothers are kind, generous and community-spirited. We’re speaking here about the main character’s lack of sensitivity, her refusal to join the rest of the world by way of caring – she would spend no time, money, or energy on another human being because she is a firm believer in Ralph Emerson’s concept of “Self-Reliance.”
What happens when she reaches age twenty-seven? Does her self-centeredness and arrogance result in an absolute turnaround? Is her transformation complete? Will John Donne’s “No Man is an Island” replace her earlier mind-set?
