In as much as uncle Clarence should be forgiven, he should take responsibility for his action and accept the consequences of his action.

It was clear that Clarence needed medical help but his actions were made with in his right mind.

I truly love this discussion topic and it was something I thought about after reading the book. Life is very rarely classified into white and black, and this issue with Clarence definitely rests in the gray area. Personally, I think what happened to him was something really awful and he should have gotten intense psychological help for that. But at the same time, we all get to a certain age where it is inexcusable for us to pin decisions or actions taken as adults on childhood issues. I think Clarence's family went too far in always excusing the things he did and chalking it up to his past experience. The near rape with Maureen wasn't the first of his crimes. It was also implied that he stole things which everyone just swept under the rug. I think his family should help him understand about taking responsibility and the consequences of his actions.

He obviously has lots of issues and childhood trauma, which I feel he should definitely get help for. However, I don't think he should have gotten away with what he did so easily. Yes, he has issues, but does that excuse attempted rape and continually pursuing his brother's wife? Absolutely not!
