Empathy

If you have suffered, does that automatically make you better at understanding someone else—or can pain make you turn away? Jamie hears the girl’s despair because he is “sharing his pain”, but empathy also asks him to act. When compassion demands effort, courage and sacrifice, is feeling another person’s suffering enough, or must it change what you do?

Empathy grows as Jamie learns to recognise pain beyond his own experience. From Archie’s belief that people can “make them welcome” to Jamie carrying the girl home, the novel shows compassion as a choice that restores dignity, trust and peace for everyone.
