Played By: Sydney Penny (child), Rachel Ward (adult) “Good intention” is a hall pass through history, a sleeping pill that ensures the Dream.” The point of this language of “intention” and “personal responsibility” is broad exoneration. But a great number of educators spoke of “personal responsibility” in a country authored and sustained by a criminal irresponsibility. No one directly proclaimed that schools were designed to sanctify failure and destruction. But a very large number of Americans will do all they can to preserve the Dream. Very few Americans will directly proclaim that they are in favor of black people being left to the streets. Learn to play defense-ignore the head and keep your eyes on the body. What any institution, or its agents, “intend” for you is secondary. “It does not matter that the “intentions” of individual educators were noble. Though Ames takes some pride in this heritage, neither he nor Boughton is fully able to extend their understanding of grace to Black Americans. The Gilead books are set in the 1950s, with retrospect ranging back to the Civil War, in which Ames's abolitionist grandfather served. Reverends Ames and Boughton believe in this preciousness, but are uncomfortable with its political implications. Robinson describes herself as a liberal Protestant, and her deep investment in her characters reflects an immense preoccupation with the concept of grace, which, in Robinson's theological estimation, seems to confer total, unearned preciousness on every human life. Robinson's three subsequent novels - Home, Lila, and, most recently, Jack, all as transcendently lovely as the first - return to Gilead's world, characters, and plot points, retelling and re-examining each one with lapidary care. Marilynne Robinson created the Boughton and Ames families of Gilead, Iowa in her 2004 Gilead, a lingeringly beautiful epistolary novel in which the aging Reverend John Ames reflects on his life in a letter to his son. |
