The Moviegoer

With regards to Binx's resolution, I'm not fully sure that he found the resolution that he was looking for. Throughout the whole novel, Binx questions himself, not only through his accomplishments, but also through his discoveries of his father. Furthermore, Binx had no clear direction that he was following. He talks about how there always seemed to be "clues," yet they never seem to piece together. It seems that even when his aunt is drilling him for the answers as to his existence and purpose, he still comes up short, and he is not even able to give any kind of response to his aunt. As he sits in the car with Kate outside the church, he is watching a negro man, and even on this day, at this point in time, it seems that he still is lost. He realizes that he will have somewhat of the life he dreamed about in the beginning of the novel. A life in which he will have a wife, and maybe someday have some children. However, I think at the point where he begins to break down, when he thinks that Sharon has quit on him, that is when I think Binx feels completely alone. That is why he tries to find someone, anyone that will make him feel like he exists. In the end, I don't think that Binx is any closer to finding a resolution with himself, than he was when he started out.
