Atonement questions


1. What sort of social and cultural setting does the Tallis House create? What emotions and impulses are being acted upon or repressed by its inhabitants?

2. A passion for order, a lively imagination, and a desire for attention seem to be Briony's strongest traits. In what ways is she still a child? Is her narcissism - her inability to see things from any point of view but her own - unusual in a thirteen-year-old? 

3. Why does Briony stick to her "version of the story" with such unwavering commitment? Does she act entirely in error in a situation she is not old enough to understand, or does she act, in part, on an impulse of malice, revenge, or self-importance? 

4. As she grows older, Briony develops the empathy to realise what she has done to Cecilia and Robbie. How and why do you think she does this? 

1.- It is a house of a rich family. Robie is repressing his love for Cecilia, because he doesn`t know how she will react.

2.- She is still a child because of her incapacity of understanding love. It`s normal for some teenagers and boys to believe they are the center of everything, but even with that I think that the narcissim that Briony has is unusal.

3.- I think she acts with malice in part, because she isn`t sure if Robie did anything, but she was jelaous that Robie loved Cecilia

4.- I think that when you grow up and experience more things you start to understand some situations you couldn`t understand before.
