Discussion Questions for lectures 27 & 28 of PHIL 20214

Discussion: Hannah and Her Sisters; Dubus, "The Timing of Sin"

In what ways does Hannah exemplify independence? In what ways does Leigh exemplify neediness?
Should we hold Elliot or Leigh more culpable?
Make a case for or against the claim that Elliot or LuAnn should tell their spouses about their infidelity. Be sure to identify any relevant differences between their situations.
Othello says “He that is robbed, not wanting what is stol’n, Let him not know’t, and he’s not robbed at all” (III.3.242-3). Would you want to know if your spouse were cheating on you? Why or why not?
Is there a difference between adultery and what LuAnn did? Between infidelity and temptation to infidelity?
