Woldview analysis of She Unnames Them
1. God and the Universe
-"You and your father lent me this- gave it to me, actually. It's been really uselful, but it doesn't seem to fit very well lately"
-It seems like Eve is in control of the universe because although God names the animals eve has the power to undo his doing.
2. Humanity and Identity
-"The insects parted with their names in vast clouds and swarms of ephemeral syllables..."
-All these beings have to control is their identity because essentially a name means nothing.
3.Conflict and Suffering
-"They seemed far closer than when their names had stood between myself and them like a clear barrier..."
-The animals have problems with how insignificant a name is so they have trouble accepting it.
4. Hope and Redemption
-'the attraction that many of us felt, the desire to smell one another's smells, feel or rub or caress one another's scales or skin or feathers or fur...'
-The hope lies in having an identity aside from their name.
5. Values and Relationships
-"He was not paying much attention, as it happened, and said only, 'Put it down over there, OK?' and went on with what he was doing."
-Their hopefulness is in finding the garden key.
6.Truth and Knowledge
-'They seemed far closer than when their names had stood between myself and them like a clear barrier.'
-They realize that the names are meaningless so the truth lies in having their own identity and just being and not knowing.
