Luk Lysgaard-Peacock

Luk reflects on his lost hopes of marrying Jacqueline. At the moment he tends to view almost everything negatively, which makes sense.

"Like all television watchers, he saw the faces first and the ideas as functions of the faces." [p. 186]

"He [Luk] noted, scientifically, that biologists shared his fiercely defended pragmatic agnosticism. Physicists, for some reason, found it easier to construct or retain beliefs." [p. 188]

I like the style of seeing how different characters perceive the same event (i.e. Frederica's televison shows).
