![]() ![]() It's a roll of the dice and they will always be among us. Ultimately, you can't prevent the Kevins of this world. Or was it? Celia turned out fine, and the two of them got along. ![]() ![]() The broader question is, why do we all assume people have children for the right reasons? If "wanting a child to love" is the only valid reason for having a child, how many people among us would never have been born? There are any number of reasons a mother has a child, but motherhood just wasn't in the cards for Eva. She doesn't want a child, but doesn't NOT want a child, and this is, I believe, what makes it difficult for us to categorically judge her. Although she spends time playing the martyr, telling Franklin that she had Kevin for his sake, she also comes clean about her other reasons, such as ego, societal pressure (she wants to pass on her genes), as well as curiosity and boredom ("turning the page" in her life). I also wondered how reliable Eva was as a narrator, but overall I found her fairly reliable - no glaring red flags at least. ![]()
