Teachers & SchoolsGuilt and Blame
Don't blame us if you don't like She's Come Undone. Blame your mom, or Wally Lamb, or Oprah—that's what Dolores would do, anyway. She's notorious for not taking responsibility for any of her actions (if you asked Dolores what her favorite animal was, she'd probably say the scapegoat), and, even worse, for taking the blame for things that are totally not her fault. She has the blame game upside down and backward, and it takes her quite a while to get things straight.
Dolores often blames men for everything bad that happens to her, and she's right. She's a victim of male oppression in the fifties and sixties.
Dolores blames men for everything bad that happens to her because she can't take responsibility for her own life.
