Description

On the surface the characterizations of Evelin and Connie contrast more than they do compare with one another, i.e. Evelin is a Fin de Siècle teenager growing up in Dublin, while Connie is a suburban teenager from “Anywhere” U.S.A. in the 1950’s-early 60’s; Connie has little responsibility at home, while Evelin is the primary caretaker of her father and younger siblings; Evelin is introspective and introverted, while Connie presents as being superficial in nature and extroverted; Evelin is motivated by an ideal rooted in excellence, while Connie strives to shatter any such ideal…(or does she?)
