I think that Peter H said a considerable time ago that
AR illustrates both lifestyle options: the house-
keeper follower role (which, let's face it, most of his
young female readers would have ended up adopting
willingly or unwillingly) and the more active leader,
inspirational muse role.
Very wisely, he leaves it to his young readers to decide
which one is right for them.
