Unwind: Chapter 23 Summary & Analysis

Summary
Analysis
Connor hates to admit it, but Risa is right: Roland is skilled at subtly manipulating and bullying people, all while acting dumb as to escape the Fatigues’ suspicions. Connor also feels conflicted about Lev. He keeps an eye out to see if Lev shows up and feels alternately angry and worried. Connor reasons that Lev is probably unwound by now, and though Connor knows it’s not his fault, he feels like it is.
The sense of responsibility that Connor feels for Lev’s supposed fate shows once again that being exposed to differing viewpoints is one of the most effective ways to develop compassion. Hopefully, this will encourage Connor to think better of any other tithes he meets and help them too.
