「Owen and Caitlin Banter at Work」を読み解く

What's really going on

The chapter introduces Owen, and it does so by letting him talk. He is charming and completely full of it, bragging that Caitlin is only being coy and that he "manipulated her with my sexual charisma" — a line so absurd that the film lets it stand as a joke about a certain kind of man. The joke works because Owen is also observant and kind: outside, he notices Duncan waiting and listens. Their exchange about the weather, "It is a hot summer," is the beginning of the friendship that will matter most to Duncan. Owen is the adult who talks to him like a person rather than a project.

Theme

FriendshipOwen treats Duncan like a person rather than a problem, opening the friendship that changes Duncan's summer.
Coming of ageDuncan is quietly looking for someone who will talk to him normally, and in Owen he finds one.
