Thanks very much optom!
Your post says a great deal about Ennis and Jack !!
You accentuate different effects
that child abuse can have, when they become men !!
.........
Jack becomes outgoing (is that the right term ?) !!
Ennis remains in his fear !!
.............
Now, I am lost... as to what to say.
Both Ennis and Jack seem to have grown up by themselves, in a way ??
Since Ennis' mother passed away while he was young, that also made a difference in him ??
However, in Jack's case, he got continued love from Mrs. Twist, who cared for him, and that made a big difference as to his personnality?
Maybe ? ?
Of course as you say, if both Ennis and Jack were abused as children.
Awaiting your news,
hugs!
