Freewill Questions

Bring on the tough stuff - there’s not just one right answer.

  1. Could Freewill have been told by a third person narrator, like Mr. Jacks, Pops, or an all-knowing, sawdust-covered fly on the wall? How would that change or limit the scope of Will's story?
  2. How does Will's state of mind affect how you understand, trust, or believe what happens in the story?
  3. How much of our life is driven by forces beyond our control, such as fate and luck?
  4. Do you think everyone, including a mentally ill person, is responsible for their actions?
  5. Do you we are all meant to be something or someone?
  6. What difference does it make if you call Will's parents' death a mistake rather than an accident?
  7. Do you think Will is always addressing himself, or is he hearing voices?
  8. What significance, if any, does Frank Sinatra have?
