He just tarted up his misdemeanours and made them look respectable
"MaddAddam" by Margaret Atwood explores the complexities of human behavior and morality in a dystopian world. The quote highlights a character's tendency to embellish their wrongdoings, presenting them in a more favorable light rather than confronting the reality of their actions. This reflects a broader theme in the novel about the lengths to which individuals go to justify their choices and the façades they create.
The narrative delves into issues of humanity's relationship with nature, genetic engineering, and survival, ultimately questioning what it means to be responsible. As characters navigate through their flawed decisions, Atwood invites readers to consider the implications of rationalizing one's misdemeanours and the societal impact of such attitudes.
