Annotation
Demonstrates through etymological analysis of Jordan’s and Maria’s names and nicknames that Maria embodies the “utopian integration of opposites” into peaceful harmony that Jordan idealistically desires, while he represents the mediation of these opposites. Points to the impossibility of such an integration, solidifying the novel’s message regarding the hopelessness of idealistic aspiration.
