Ashlee betrayal reaction

I like your use of the idea of bate, almost like the serpent and the apple in the garden. The duality of betrayal and faith.

Intellectual- Pride and intellect is for sure apparent and the duality of control and salvation is very evocative, you should defiantly expand on that.

secular grotesque- denial of pain, or is it the denial of responsibility.

Expand on the idea of enlightenment and what leads the characters into the moment of enlightenment or what keeps them from it.

In O'Connor's essay on Mary Ann she explores this idea of the child innocence, and why she chooses to write about the troubled child, or tormented soul rather than encouraging stories on those who accept grace.
