Similar to C.S. Lewis’ “Till We Have Faces”, Fr. Wren uses the ancient Greek mythological story of Philoctetes to explore the contemporary dilemna of “what we are to do with “useless” people?” The underlying themes touch on the ethical question our contemporary society faces concerning the rights and value of the most vulnerable : the poor, those suffering from discrimination or abuse, the elderly, the handicapped, and the unborn.
