The Time Traveler's Wife

1. On the novel's first page Clare declares, "I wait for Henry." In what way does this define her character, and how is the time of waiting developed throughout the book? & 2. Closely related to the theme of foreknowledge is the idea of free will. Does Henry's chrono-instability give him a freedom that Clare lacks, or does it make him more powerless? Discuss Henry's observation that "there is only free will when you are in time, in the present"
