Well we are in week two and have experienced some great discussions concerning the book A Portrait of the Artist of a Young Man.
Some people considered John Dowell as a naive man with many fault and short comings. However I didn't view him like that. I saw a man that was in love with a woman that was in love with herself. I saw a man that was loyal to his friends but treated him with disloyalty.
I think John Dowell was a man that was not perfect, but I don't feel he deserved the torture that his friends and family put him through. It would take a strong man to put up with his wife. I have to admire him for that.
A Portrait of the Artist of a Young Man was probably not my favorite reading, but I did spark a great deal of conversation about his religion or lack their of.
