Scope and content

Clarifies her point [in her earlier letter], about the relationship between Mark and Gideon: that she understands the choice by Gideon to show the path of permissive behavior, but by allowing it to be only on Gideon's shoulders then it becomes symbolism; ordinary people react to the man, not the symbol and have a human rather than an intellectual reaction; her idea of having Gideon concede the battle was only a means of trying to solve that the problem of the line between the symbolic and the emotional reaction; points out that actors play people not symbols.
