Bring on the tough stuff - there’s not just one right answer.
- Why does Leo Finkle make use of a matchmaker instead of finding a girl on his own?
- How does Leo's relationship to God evolve and change throughout the story? Or does it?
- What does Pinye Salzman gain out of his business as a matchmaker?
- How important is the difference in age between Finkle and Salzman to the drama of the story?
- What role does New York City play in this story?
- In what ways does the story reflect Jewish culture and Jewish sensibilities?
- What is the difference between the last girl that Finkle picks and the others? (Besides the fact that she's Salzman's daughter, that is).
- Does the story have a happy ending? Why or why not?
