Atonement

1. What sort of social and cultural setting does the Tallis House create? What emotions and impulses are being acted upon or repressed by its inhabitants? 

Cecilia / Cee

The Tallis house creates a high class social culture, that as consecuence makes Cee imposible to be in an open relationship with Robbie, because he was an employee.

 2. A passion for order, a lively imagination, and a desire for attention seem to be Briony's strongest traits. In what ways is she still a child? Is her narcissism - her inability to see things from any point of view but her own - unusual in a thirteen-year-old?   

Briony still a child in the way she sees things just under her perspective. That is very unusual in a thirdteen-year.old child, at that time most of the kids have the hability to put themselves in the shoes of other man, empathy.

3. Why does Briony stick to her "version of the story" with such unwavering commitment? Does she act entirely in error in a situation she is not old enough to understand, or does she act, in part, on an impulse of malice, revenge, or self-importance?   

Eventhoug Briony is questioned a lot of times about what she saw at the garden, she answers always what she thinks that happend, but she isn't really sure, she didn't saw clearly Robbie's face. Briony blame Robbie because she use to be in love with him, but Robbie didn't accept her, so now Briony created a whole untrue story to blame him.

4. As she grows older, Briony develops the empathy to realise what she has done to Cecilia and Robbie. How and why do you think she does this? 

Robbie

I think that it is very difficult to a person not to develop the ability of putting themselves in other ones shoes, and it is even harder in the enviorment in which Briony lived, with good values and education. And such an important incident as the one that happend, makes Briony reflect about it, to the point she knows the pain she caused and she wants to apologize.
