- Annotation
- Rejects widely held critical opinion that Dr. Adams is misogynistic and racist, arguing that his compassion and ability to maintain grace under pressure distinguish him as a heroic model for his young son. Daiker analyzes the seeming insensitivity of the doctor s rhetoric and behavior to uncover his dedicated professionalism and deep love for Nick. Points to the overlooked language barrier between Dr. Adams and the Indians as the likely reason for critical misinterpretations of the doctor s affect and argues for the importance of the racist, sexist, and self-centered Uncle George as foil to his brother, Dr. Adams.
