14. What does Aine’s failure to call Paulo reveal about her character?

Post by smkelly »

On the night Aine runs away from home, she spends time with Paulo at the wedding anniversary of a bureaucrat in a nearby town. They hit it off, and before boarding the early morning bus to Kampala, Aine promises to call Paulo as soon as she arrives. But she completely forgets about Paulo and never calls him.

What do you make of this behaviour on Aineʼs part?
