At the beginning of the discussion, the participants touched on Wynand’s idea that “the quest for self-respect proves its lack”, and shared their opinions on this statement. They talked about why Wynand and Dominique begin to look at each other “not as enemies, but as friends” and what this gives them.

In the second part of the meeting, the attendees discussed the question of why Dominique has the opportunity to see the “sacred” art gallery. The discussion also mentioned why Wynand confesses her love and proposes to Dominique to marry her.
