![]() Danny, 73ĭanny and Maeve aren't stupid: they know that sitting in front of the Dutch House is not good for them. the more we kept up with our hate, the more we were forever doomed to live out our lives in a parked car on VanHoebeek Street. It will take a lot of growth in Danny to start to come to terms with who his mother was and why she did not like the house at all. ![]() ![]() He cannot comprehend how anyone would not like the house and see it as the majestic edifice it was. It represents his father, his sister, and his childhood. For him, the house is a palace, a playground, and a museum. He's lived his whole life there and has no negative memories of Elna leaving or Maeve getting sick. And what he does notice-in this case, the house-is filtered through his own subjectivity. He doesn't notice a lot of things around him, one specific example being that Sandy and Jocelyn are sisters. In his youth, Danny is like any child in that he is not particularly aware of any reality other than his own. ![]() Hate the dining-room ceiling, sure, but the entire house? There was no better house. ![]()
