Worldview in "She Unnames Them"

1. God & the universe:
"You and your father lent me this--gave it to me,
actually."
~ Belief in God is viewed as relative, meaning He
is true for some people, and not for others. There
is very little objective truth (if any).

2. Humanity & identity:
"They seemed far closer than when their names had
stood between myself and them like a clear barrier."
"not one of them had the least objection to parting
with the lower case"
~ The "self" doesn't exist; our identity is based upon
our culture and experiences.

3. Conflict & suffering:
"It is hard to give back a gift without sounding
peevish or ungrateful, and I did not want to leave
him with that impression of me."
"The councils of the elderly females finally agreed
that though the name might be useful to others,
it was so redundant from the yak point of view that
they never spoke it themselves"
~ Humans make mistakes and are not perfect; yet we
can still make good/wise decisions. We usually care
about what others think of us, which is why we often
do the things we do.

4. Hope & redemption:
"...their agreement was reached and the designation
'yak' was returned to the donor."
~ This shows humans taking matters into their own
hands, signifying that us as humans are in control
rather than God.

5. Values & relationships:
"Most of them accepted namelessness with the
perfect indifference with which they had so long
accepted and ignored their names."
~ Identity is based upon culture and personal
preferences.

6. Truth & reality:
"They seemed far closer than when their names had
stood between myself and them like a clear barrier"
~ Everything is relative; reality is made by people
that are powerful.

I believe "She Unnames Them" carries a Postmodern view in the way
that identity/the self is not important.
