Sweetheart, I know you think it'll be a cathartic experience and you'll say your piece and everyone will come away the wiser,' says Dad. 'But in real life that doesn't happen. I've confronted enough assholes in my time. They never realize they're assholes. Not once. Whatever you say.
In "Finding Audrey," the protagonist's father offers a candid perspective on confronting difficult individuals. He explains that while she may believe addressing her feelings will lead to a meaningful exchange, in reality, such confrontations often fail to bring about understanding or change. He shares from his own experiences that most people remain oblivious to their negative traits, no matter how clearly they're presented.
This moment highlights a key theme in the narrative: the complexity of human interaction and communication. The father's advice serves as a reminder that real-world confrontations can be far less satisfying than we hope, often leaving individuals feeling unheard and frustrated.
