Each of her characters ends in failure--the drop-out goes off to California, the pothead moves to an apartment with only dope as her objective, the sexual revolutionist will never acheive a normal heterosexual relationship, the communard leaves his commune in disgust at the problems he finds within it to apply to law school as a final rejection of interpersonal relationships. Decter seems to give up hope for the youth...
