Because Eva could never give him real love, kids can detect it from a very young age if you are not honest about something.Īnd he couldn't get real love from his father either, even though he tried to bond with him, it felt just awkward or made up. I would even say: Kevin did love his mother, it's just that he had no idea what love is or how to express this feeling. I am unsure if Kevin was capable of love - but he clearly didn't respect his father or sister, but even though he made Eva's life hell, he knew she knew him better than anyone, and she had been successful in her life before him, so did he admire her in his own sick way? Or did he just hate her as much as he liked her to think? In the interview she stumbles across on the TV, Kevin becomes very defensive when his mother is mentioned - he doesn't want to discuss her, and there does seem to be a hint of respect in this action. He had the opportunity to make her part of the sick ending, and wiping ut his whole family - as she was present at breakfast that morning - so why did he let her leave? Was it out of respect, and a type of love and fondness? Or did he just want Eva to suffer even further by leaving her alive? My main question is regarding the relationship between Kevin and Eva. I think We need to talk about Kevin is a great book for discussion, there are many points that could be pulled apart and looked at closely.
