I'm wondering if his early attitude to women actually made those connections more meaningful since he underestimated them then they showed him important life lessons which stunned him.jwalker73 wrote: ↑10 Oct 2018, 01:44 Did anyone else find it interesting that McDowell, a character who made it clear from the start of the novel that he held a low opinion of women, eventually learnt some of his greatest life lessons from several of the females he encountered later in the story. I felt that McDowell seemed to find his most meaningful connections with characters such as Maud, Hulga and Winona. He even risked his own personal safety to save the life of another woman. Do you think this subtle shift reflected growth in his character as a human being, or solely a response to overwhelming loneliness?
If he had been more respectful to women in the beginning, would he have overlooked the advice from women?

But his attitude towards women changed significantly after meeting Maud, her daughter and Hulga.Fozia-Bajwa wrote: ↑09 Nov 2018, 16:42 McDowell is the an abuser of women. Wherever he was, he is making victim to the different ladies. At home, he ignores his wife and at the place of his professional activities he plays with women like a game. He thinks women are only the source of entertainment for him and nothing more.
