Woman under a Microscope – An Argument on Helen Chalmers
your turn comes, Jack, don't be afraid. Be glad! It's our greatest experience, our mysterious voyage of discovery into the last unknown, man's only true adventure.“ (314)
Helen Chalmers adventure is a long journey of self exploring. She is to be admired for emerging herself into the Native American culture, and her understanding of the world that surrounds her. While many of those who love her do not understand her, that does not deter Helen from her journey. She lives with dignity, dies with grace and loves unconditionally. She is a great woman. Frank Waters has created a character with Helen Chalmers that ties all of the universal truths together– that we are one with our environment, all part of a great plan.
