What if the premise is wrong? What if there's no such division between heart and mind. "I've always known the quality of love is the mind" said Helen Loomis. So, why does Scobie feel responsible for Louise' happiness? Just his deep religious convictions.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, in the first book we learn that louise is devastated after knowing scobie hadnt been promoted. That prevented her from flying to South Africa. So focused on her desires is she that she doesn't realize Scobie is a tormented soul.
