I remember at the time there was much discussion here about Clara and her condition which included many perspectives and responses.
In my day job, I work with people with a variety of mental conditions, including brain injuries. What resonated with me in The Light in the Piazza was how sensitively and, in my view, accurately the piece portrays the enormity of what it means to raise a child with a "disability", especially when that child, whom you have protected and nurtured and kept safe reaches adulthood, both chronologically and developmentally.
I understand the movie may have gone a different direction, emphasizing different aspects of the characters, but the play seems to show that Clara has become more capable than Margaret was led to believe she could ever be. And even more so, Clara is deserving of happiness and independence regardless of her injury. |
