Re: JCO: Discussion Question

His actions (or lack of actions) lead to her death in that he chose not to
tell anyone about the accident. If he had told someone or if he leapt in to
bring her out of the car, she might have lived. Do you think of her as a
single hapless victim entranced by the power and prestige of the senator or
do you think her slow drowning is more a representation of how American
society is lulled and slowly drowning in its own obsessively consumerist
culture?
