...rest of the characters don't really react to Phillip's posturing or to the traumas of the third act; McCullers has them go right on being the pushy belle, the sniffling old maid, the smart aleck kid, and the love struck good guy, even as Phillip self-destructs.

Boyfriends looked around uncomfortably as garish lapses of modesty struck graduate after graduate. Other guests joined...
